A Poem by IWASNEVERTHERE

Knock knock
Have I finally gotten you to open up?
Do we remain countries separated by drawn up borders?
Knock knock
Are you ready to let me in?
Knock knock
Now that I've got your attention
I'm inclined to mention that wilted leaves leave scars on the most beautiful of trees
Planted seeds seek peace in the warmth beneath the soil
Memories pretend to be idle vices till we can no longer afford to let them go
Knock knock just let me be or let me breath you in with lungs full of fading breath
Knock knock at heaven's gate while we're stuck on earth
Do we seek escape or do we seek the truth yet I seek your face behind guarded doors
You can hear my heart stringed along these lines played by violins
A haunted lullaby, hard to say goodbye, hard to say the truth when we find lies more comforting
Comfort me with your words
Water me with eyes of lies as long as I see my reflection
Knock knock
They tried to turn our voices into caskets
Belittle our voices till we no longer have the strength to stand up
For surely it was a mismatch or a mishap for we weren't suppose to speak these flowers into existence
Fearful they watched them grow with every rest in peace that will never get to see their creation
We'll plant their seeds and our weightless bodies will help them grow even if it's the food they need
So please take care of me
Knock knock
Feed me food for thought while I starve over words too painful to swallow
Silent minds wonder helplessly blind till they grow their wings and the time comes to cut them off
We begin our flight buried 6 feet deep buried deep within buried in your minds beating in your hearts
The petals soak our minds clear for all to see
Knock knock till I break these walls and I lose my breath knock knocking on this door losing all my strength while knocking full of hope knuckles flowing blood
