Knocking

 

I want to knock

on the door

to your heart.

Awaken it from its slumber,

but I wonder.

do I have the right house number?

If I knock loudly

would the fear that I'm feeling

confound the sounds with those

of my own heart pounding?

 

I want to rap a secret message,

tapping out a beat that when heard

would make you know

that my heart isn't blurred,

just a little scared.

But if the feeling isn't shared

then will blushes be spared?

 

I stand in the cold,

harsh wind blowing through.

Should I ask?

Should I open my heart to you?

And would yours open for me?

I stand aimlessly.

Just feeling the cold embrace

of fear teasing and taunting.

 

If I knock in morse code,

without speaking aloud,

would the words still have impact?

I doubt myself.

If you saw the fear in my eyes,

the hurt of past lives

the battles I fight.

Would you open the door

and extend an invite?

I put my hands 

back into my pockets

and walk away.
