Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

Gazing in upon your face

I see you sitting

At your window.

Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

Years go by I hear

An odd sound

A door has slammed shut

Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

Tired eyes, a crumbling mask

Merry children

Dance past us.

Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

Fading hatred,

Growing love

Still not confessed

Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

My heart is racing

I have no fear. I know that you

Will stay

Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

Ahead I see a closed door;

What is this?

Passing by your open door

I will always

See you.

Sliding open the door

I gaze in side

And gasp.

EMPTY
