Love Poem: Emotional Doors

Emotional Doors

We're bending,
But not breaking.  
Is this good?

I've grown tired of dialing, 
Ashamed your phone number
Has become a memorized muscle movement--
A seven-numbered cod
Printed over my eyes
That spells out "home."

I am trapped.
Trust is only a phase;
A tiny brush stroke on the canvas of my life
And more than I am afraid
Of causing you harm,
I am afraid of harming myself.
