Let Me In

"Bring me a lily
And one loaf of bread
Take me home, now."

Do not leave your questions unasked
Yet all the while
Post not those questions unprepared
For truthful answers are the only answers
Yet all the while
Hurtful answers are the truth

"Maybe we could
Try to better this this time."

I shall ask you, then,
With my hand on my chest
Whether you believe
Yet all the while
Knowing
That only so much love can equate so much pain

"So let me in."

Put me not on a pedestal
Where no one can reach
Only high enough
That I may climb down
To greet you
And that you may come up
To meet me
