My heart leaks out

In my writing

From that place

Where it's been hiding

Sitting quiet

Waiting for

Me to try to

Show it more.

It doesn't care

How long it waits

It sits in patience

Just to bait

Me into feeling

What's really there

To drop the guard

And hold my hair

So I can hear when it comes out

Surprised the sounds

Coming out my mouth

Then back to hiding

Again once more

Until I find

The Open Door
