Knock Knock

The Knock

Austine POV

My day was good until I reached home
I found myself suddenly alone
l found a note lying on my bed
I quickly read what the letter said
It was a letter of gratitude
It somehow returned my good good mood
I remembered how good smiling was
then it hit me, will this feeling last?
I lived a life in full restrictions
I mastered holding my emotions
The lessons from my past had taught me
to stay on the safe side not carefree
Before my riches, life was lonely
Girls had all their ways to escape me
Came to be an introvert by choice
I had to live life of simple joys
I grew tired of chasing mouse like cat
I gave up my cards like baccarat
I made a pact to my wounded heart
to be still so I would not fall apart
I'm giving my smile to everyone
But no one plays my heart just for fun
I shifted my focus on career
On the business I ventured I'm queer
pennies to dime and silver to gold
the past became tales never been told
It turned the tables on one eighty
physically and materially
I became the bachelor girls chase
They had seemed to give me their free tastes
Some are discreet but others are bold
they were used to my response so cold
Something magical happened last night
It just made my mood suddenly bright
My mind is sending signals to warn
I'm like a cat distracted to yarns
I feel like my heart is now unleashed
bringing back the old me so foolish
my mind grew tired with these things in mind
In the land of dreams I got confined
waves of thoughts came rushing through my head
this give me visions of years ahead
awoken by a knock at my door
I came to wonder what is this for
all of my servants took their day off
I am alone in this private loft
I came to attend the who knocked
I thought one of my servants came back
I was confused and I was thinking
seeing two old men who are smiling
asking myself do I know these two?
they said Hi! without further ado
then they asked, why do I looked lonely?
my smile looked a view of vanity
they asked again, is there something wrong?
as they noticed I paused for too long
I came to senses, they looked concerned
their genuine care to me I discerned
I invited them them inside to chat
as we walk, I  felt their friendly pat
They taught me many things I don't know
I've learned what I know is too shallow
Everything I believed were all lies
about God, happiness, paradise
I can't recall what we talked about
I'm convinced by what they shared, no doubt
another spark had flared in my heart
I feel being pulled out of the dark

Aeriz POV

I reached home silently to surprise
it fired back, I can't believe my eyes
a girly figure whom is not mine
this is outrageously out of line
I furiously approached both of them
forgive me, it might be a mayhem
down to the last straw of the moment
my anger just turned to a lament
I pity the man wisdom left him
It's too bad, I became the victim
I uttered no words packing my things
silently weeping while cutting strings
I don't want to hear any excuse
I'm so tired I felt like I was used
after his accomplice left the scene
he tried his best to wash his hands clean
I hear his words but I can't listen
he is speaking cliche known from men
and as a response, I sharply glared
Shocked but he stopped in awkward silence
thinking I might lost all my patience
we both feel we are reaching the end
all hopes were lost to help us extend
I threw a vacuous smile to him
He responded with a smile of grim
Then he raised his white flag to concede
He felt himself there's no right to plead
That was my queue I then reach the door
There's a dormant feeling I ignored
When I got out,I felt like a bird
I'll be homeless for now, I inferred
In the busy streets, I found myself
along with an abandoned cute whelp
We are the same now, sad and alone
the creature barked in a tone of moan
a closed stall prolly a flower shop
when darkness fell, that's where my feet stopped
tagged with Stark, the puppy I shared a shoe
for us to sleep, I guess this will do
I laid my head close to the entrance
So to the stars above I can glance
just to end my day with something good
I almost cried on this gloomy mood
I fell asleep on positive note
felt relieved like thorns came out of throat
The planned nap turned out to be slumber
That's enough for me to recover
I woke up by knocks, caught me off-guard
hugging Stark tightly like a coward
and then when I came to my senses
there were two nice ladies in dresses
smiling and asking if I'm okay
also asked if there's a place I stay
they have introduced themselves to me
one named Julia and one named Julie
they asked me how did I end up here
and where did I get this lovely dear
I answered the questions one by one
It started with a decision done
I ran away from an ugly mess
I believe that this is for the best
I thought I will be alone outside
I can't resist this puppy blue-eyed
I found out that this place is Julie's
I apologized when I heard this
Julie calmed me, and again asked me
Did I find a good place already?
I haven't yet, I quickly answered
there was something I just remembered
then I asked them do they know a place
they replied by a smile on their face
we became roommates, the three of us
there so many things they had discussed
from how I will feel the genuine love
and how I am seen by god above
from the designs human and all
to how pain will come to a downfall
there is more to life, I understood
and this is a struggle to be good
