4. Alerted

Should I close the door back again?
Should I run away like I always do?

I gave him the keys.
And the whole crew disagrees.
Saying, he's just an atrocious
and a loathsome disease.

But I can always change the lock.
Ain't that a self mock?
What now?
Should I allow?
Allow him in? Fully in?
I avow.

Feels not close
to being a mundane.

So I guess it's time
to call it for an abstain?
Getting away from the anguish
that might be heading my way.
For nothing is sure as shooting
permanent like a scar.

A scar. . .
It's such a big word.
A trauma and a scar. . .
Even bigger.

Then what?
Why am I thinking this way now,
When I should've been
since the very beginning?

Why did I think that
he's gonna stay?
When he will never.

The ajar doors of mine
threatening to close,
whenever a knock is perceived,
Is unremittingly anticipated.
Sometimes I think I might be agitated.
The scars again and again. . .
But alas, that's just what I perfect.
