#callinghome
Do you remember me,
I ask.
You refute
And call my name
Again and yet again.
I answer every call,
engaged it says,
rings a bell, somewhere far
where my voice
isn't familiar anymore.
I knock on the door
No ones home, you say
I wonder why
In an abandoned wreck
Do you wish to stay.
As I try to remember
the pass code to you
I see
the door's open
Locks broken
And still i can't reach you.
I enter
to see you chained
by your own hands
I reach out
Only to find
you lost.
I try to unchain you
but the touch of me
makes you flinch
more than the chains do.
If I was certain of anything
it was that I'm me.
If you were certain of anything
it was that I'm not.
I know you'll come back,
You always do.
Till then, I'll stand beside the door
calling for myself too.
