You knocked
But
My doors were locked
and
My windows boarded up.
So I ignored.
I was content.
To just lay here and rot.
Along with the rats that scuttered about
I accepted my fate
Resigned and defeated
No movement. Not even a flinch
But you didn't stop
No breaks
No rest
On you went
Night and day
You were persistent
"GO AWAY!" I said "NOBODY'S HOME!"
but you continued.
Louder and louder
Until
"Fine. You win. Come in and make yourself at home"
A hug here
A smile there
Ah.
It's quite warm now...
