I want to let you in
I really do
But
These doors are
Ill-used

The hinges rusted
Gold surfaces dulled
Wooden core left rotting

The lock is broken
I lost the key

But maybe
They would crack open
And let the light
Shine through

If you would help me look

I just think that sometimes we all need a little help to unlock ourselves.
