The indignity
of being stranded
outside a locked door
locked from inside
is something one could miss
especially
when the door
that locks you out
is the door
that belongs to you
it leaves you helpless
slightly clueless
and angry
wondering what
you should do next
knock on it?
no way,
one shouldn't have to knock
on one's own door
locked from the inside.
then what?
kick on it?
bring it down?
ring the bell?
oh, why bother.
locked doors
are maddening
mysterious
infuriating
slightly insulting
but hey
it's a different
ballgame
when you're on the inside
safe and sound
safe
for snuggles and cuddles
and whispered sweet nothings.
locked doors feel so cozy
on the inside.
