Behind the Door

Behind the Door

A Poem by Irene Enriquez

Ten 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.”
