"You can come in", you said.
I replied, "I'm like a vampire, I need an invitation".
You might have invited me into your house that day.
But I fear you will never let me in, emotionally.
You put up these walls
Whenever you get sad
Or have a bad day
When I want to do something to cheer you up
Or just even hold you until the bad goes away
But you are always building walls
And shutting doors
And so I sit out here
In the dark and during the day.
Tending to your garden
Leaving you stick it notes
On bathroom mirrors
Leaving you surprises
Sending you flowers
Just patiently waiting
While I tend to your garden
And watering your flowers
Hoping someday you will once again
Tell me, "You can come in"
Instead of building walls
To keep me out.
