security

security

 

 

exiled emotions

come back, unannounced

unwelcomed,

knock on heart's door

but I lock it from deep inside

 

they wait on the porch,

they will knock again

I need a deadbolt

 

security.

Oh I love this one.
Spot on.
We never really move on. We just move over.
Those feelings are there still but we're just not playing with them right now.

(they wait on the porch, they will knock again I need a deadbolt security.) I need a deadbolt and two master locks! LOL Been there done that way too many times my friend. Great writing...I know most of your readers will identify with this one. ~Sharon

Maybe a "dream catcher" would help. But they always reminded me of spider webs. And that book by Stephen King didn't help my paranoia of them.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

he makes a lot of readers paranoid.
thank you, Fabian,

Until you let them in, they will knock until they beat down the door. Then, like voracious locusts, they will devour you. But if you let them in, a truce might be made. For then, time, the great healer, can do his work. Nicely done, Jacob. Truly, poetry is a powerful form of therapy.

They can be uninvited guests when we're not ready. I dislike them myself. I try to act like I'm not home, but they keep knocking.

Your metaphors and similes are always interesting, J. Good one.

I can imagine you with a pillow over your head, pressed against your ear....and singing loudly to keep out the voices.
thank you, Relic,

You're welcome, J.

It never really helps me, they just bust down the doors and break windows, I just put out the welcome mat and smile and say long time no see, let’s chat so I can write about it. Great piece, so relatable

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thanks for the smile, Patricia,

Our minds have a habit of regurgitating people and situations from the past that we would prefer not to remember. Extra strong padlocks on the heart's doors required. They will do everything they can to gain entry.
