I am a fool,
Waiting for your return
Every time you leave.
I pretend to ignore you.
Sitting here patiently waiting
For you to come back.
The things said that aren't meant.
The way you turn your back,
The last word before storming out the door.
I am a fool.
Leaving the door unlocked.
Waiting for your return.
I should be happy with pretending.
The breath of fresh air that soon misses your face.
I'll be a fool
I'll be a fool to lock the door.
I'll be a fool to call knowing you'd press ignore.
The things said that aren't meant.
The anticipation that waits for that door to open.
Nowhere to go.
I am a fool, standing by the door.
I've run out of things to do.
Waiting on you to come back.
I'll be a fool to ignore what's in plain sight.
I'll be a fool

My door had opened so wide that it broke off of it’s worn-down hinges.
I guess that’s why you stopped knocking and left.

I'm sitting on the dance floor
I saw her at the next door
She was adorable
She put her little bells on her legs
Danced like the snow
Falling from the sky
And I let my heart
Dance for her smile.

if life is a perception
let my eyes be
the illusion
that pitter patters
on your skin
all over your body
into your mind
then soul
opening the door
to your reality

I live in a house with many doors
doors that each lead to a plane inhabited by unknown creatures
thousands of monsters of the unknown

I make sure that each and every door is shut
to keep all those forbidden monsters away

Every now and then I hear knocking at my door
from a single monster
who I simply learn to forget and ignore

Because I am aware of the monster and his tricks
and know better then to let one in
because if you let a monster in

The monster will never get out

It's much better to tolerate a headache or two
then to spend an entirnity with a monster
who only wants to stay with you

You’re gone to me
And your two-faced hidden agenda priorities
Will never take me down anymore
Maybe if you skip the pass
You’ll even the score
So play your melody,
O Brother of the Blues,
Play so clear
Those melancholy tunes
Play that song like never before
Play it like you’re trying to breach
A closed door in a shallow pool
Of memories gone
Like you’re drowning
And the door won’t open
Because it never opened
Please open…
Sometimes familial doors are the hardest ones to open. Especially the door that exposes the issues of a broken relationship between father and son.

Let me know
When loving me
Begins to feel
Like a chore
It'll take some time
But soon I'll find
An exit door

She says your not good with money.

I agree.

She says these books can not feed us.

I disagree.

I say they feed my mind and that's all I need.
And that I am sorry that you're not hungry.

She says I want a house.

I say we have a roof.

She says I want a big white house with a red door.

I say I have a hammock and a tent and a red sharpie.

She said goodbye.

I went back to reading my meal.

God may have promised
no one always a blue sky.
Explore more He opens
the door other ways!
For there is always
a new sunrise.
