《Leslie's Poems》The Door (pt 1)
Advertisement
I opened that door and shouldn't have walked through.
I should have left that door locked tightly.
I should have covered it with a wardrobe so that I'd never get curious and open it again and again and again and again.
Or perhaps the door was always opened?
I just needed to walk through.
Or there never was a door, just a gaping hole in the Earth that I had the misfortune to fall into.
They look at me differently-or am I being paranoid?
Have they heard? Why are they looking at me like that? They know I'm right here.
I can feel everyone staring at me.
Do they know? Do they understand? Is this right? Is this wrong?
The door I walked through had not been untraveled, you know.
Was it bad that I wasn't afraid? I gladly leapt through, thinking nothing could harm me.
Pride before the fall, I suppose.
I was lost, I was found, and now...
I'm gone.
