Don’t Ignore the Knocking

Here I am.

There you are.

The world is spinning around us,

but mine always seems to stop for you.

I remember it vividly,

but this was months ago.

I felt safe,

you were there,

I had no fear in the world.

Not in failure, not in loss, not in hurt.

No person should be able to do that,

but then again you were never just a person.

Here’s the catch,

I wasn’t safe,

not from you.

How I didn’t see it coming I’m not sure.

It was standing on my doorstep.

I ignored the knock.

I focused on you.

If only I had answered the door,

maybe I wouldn’t have watched you walk away,

maybe it wouldn’t have hurt this much.
