Love Poem: Open the Door

Open the Door

"Let me in. I want to come in again. 
I thought you were my friend."
-Yvonne Baker


Oh no, my key, it seems to be broken
It don't fit and I can't git this open
Won't you open up the door and let me in?

Imagine my surprise when I looked in your eyes
And there wa'n't no one there
I'm again on my knees, begging you pretty please,
Don't put on such airs.
Just open up the door and let me in
My key must be broken.

I know we had a fight upon that violent night
And I was gone in a huff
But out here on my own, began to miss my home
Good lord I've had it rough
So open up the door and let me in.
My key don't work no mo'.

Won't you open up the door and let me in?
Open up! I want in!
My key don't work no mo'.
