Open the Door

Damn the depths
that don't align
with this passionate
heart of mine!

For from the lighting
of my life
I've carried on
in joy and strife

Damn the windows
of my soul
seeing all
they can never know!

For since they barred
the prison door
I've barely been
out to explore

Damn the teardrops
in my eyes
Hiding the mystery
of better lives!

For here I lay
on this cold floor
without a way
to open the door
