a knock on my door
a voice asking me
if i had some space
for emptiness

i heard it before
but i wanted to see
the look on the face
of loneliness

so i opened the door
what did i see?
my own face
staring back at me

so i slammed shut the door…

a message on my phone
from a forgotten friend
checking to see
if it’s my numbers

deleted and gone
it came to an end
no need to wake me
from my slumbers

i turned off the phone
“Just leave me alone”
I shouted to drown out
the voice inside my head

it got louder instead…

i heard it before
a voice asking me
what’s it like to face
my loneliness

i opened the door
the past behind me
i learned to embrace
that emptiness

afraid no more!
expecting nothing
what happens will happen
as to everything

there is no door…
