I Need Your Help

I hear the knocking
The banging on the door
You’ve sent messengers
Spreading your word
And your presence
Tries to warm my cold
Even from the outside

I don’t want to be alone
I’m tired of my pain
But giving up my control
Is a fear I can’t face

So while you’re knocking,
Banging, ringing, kicking
The doorbell of my soul
I can’t open the door

I’m not ignoring
But the door is wedged shut.
Swollen from winter life
The cold is killing me
And I want to answer
But the door’s been shut so long
I just don’t remember how…
