The door opened
dropping me to the place
where we first met.
It started with this—
a wandering soul walking
in the lobby of a peculiar building
And there’s a lift waiting
for someone to come in.
You let me stay.
I never wonder why
the lights are strangely dim
or why the numbers on the wall did not cease to go on and off.
An eerie silence filled the space
between us; from where I am
and where I wanted to be.
My eyes— they are unblinking
as I venture towards
your lowest of lows,
But you are unwilling,
for one peek could distort
your forbidding soul.
So you brought me back
to the floor you let me in—
Strangers; metal walls around yourself.
I pressed the button more than once
thinking that it will come faster.
But it can’t be opened. You won’t.
So, for the last time
I close my eyes and feel
the cold barriers surrounding your heart.
