Knocking (with a small h)

he keeps on knocking
he wants to come in...
her heart still blocking
no matter, what past, sin


she gets no glare, a stare
love in her heart was stolen
by one who does not care
swim and swims the ocean


faster and faster, drown
reaching, her heart taken
closes all doors, all 'lown
still numb, stoic, forsaken


he keeps on knocking
he wants to come in...
her heart still locking
no matter, what past, sin


knowing, your tall thin
stays in waiting, alone
in her mind, how's he been
prays his heart of stone


would relight their cords
with hers, living with
fingernails on boards
rough edges and pith


wanting him back, see
still, waiting by the sea
thinking about you and me
see she now is the 'lown.
