Fragile

Doubt it

I let you in
I shouldn’t have
How many days will it take to purge you
I see your face distracting me
It’s there to judge me
But it’s not
It’s all me
I made you up, inside
I know you’ll leave
It’s a matter of time
Still though, I wish though
You would leave me now
I’ll let you in some other time
No doubt I’m sure, this doubt is mine

Tempting

I’ve called you over again
The front door stays closed but unlached
One word will blow down the door
A breath would be enough
Stay at my door, say the word, don’t whisper a word
The blaze will be set
I’m too tired, I’m too old
I cannot rebuild
The fire is out
Stay
Stay with me
Stay silent
