Behind the DoorA Poem by Irene EnriquezTen years.
Maybe more.
That’s how long I haven’t seen you
Felt you
Tasted you.
Tonight
You show up at my doorstep.
You wear a different face But I know it’s you.
I know how you feel on my skin, Even without you touching me. I know how you taste, Even without my tongue touching you.
“Why show up now?” I asked.
“I never left.” You answered.
You’ve been standing behind the door all this time.
A door that I closed.
Tonight I finally had the courage to open it.
“Welcome home.”
