light through the key hole


Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

I'm all alone in this dark room.

Why can't anybody hear me?

The only light
is a little ray
that shines through my key hole

Sometimes
the light gets cut off
and I know
that someone is
out there

But I don't
dare to open
my door

So I
lean against it
and listen

I can hear
the hopes of your heart
I can hear
the life in your blood

I want to let you in

but when I reach
for the handle
the child in me begins
to tremble

So I walk away

with my tale scraping the floor

And once again

I'm all alone

in this dark room.

Wow! Truly a masterpiece! (at least for me) it could be a great one act play(it already is)! I so love this line that opens the gate of visualization even more 'So I walk away with my tale scraping the floor' Amazing *applause & bookmarked* :)! hmm the sound of a tail scraping the floor that is so intriguing, well done :) Thank you for sharing:)
