I know, I might not seem your type.
But here we are, can't you give it a try?
If truth be told, I've been lost most of my life.
I'm the bird with the broken wing.
All I'm looking for is love.
Aren't you looking for the same thing?
I wouldn't hurt you,
For I've been hurt before.
Went to battle, but I lost that war.
Now, I hope I ain't scaring you off.
It's just, I don't want to get hurt no more.
Knock, knock,
Can you let me in?
I've been standing a while at this door.
Only asking.
Here I am, just wondering,
Can you let me in?
It seems, if you can't hear me,
So I'm ask again,
Can you let me in?
Listen, love doesn't ask,
It just happens.
Here we are,
So what's happening?
Can you let me in?
It's cold out here.
I'm freezing.
I'm stabbed and I'm bleeding,
But I know you can start my healing.
I'm feeling for you,
I'm thinking of you.
A wise man once told me,
"That's how it starts."
Can you let me in?
Can't you hear me?
I said, your heart.
Knock, knock
Can you let me in?
Do You Love Me
I was very moved by this poem. My mansion of love has many doors, but letting someone in is a problem for me. I mean I have an entrance of limited access to protect me from heartbreak.
Can You Let Me In?
