Was there a door I left open?
\nBecause I don\u2019t remember inviting you in.
\nNot sure how I want to greet you,
\nYou\u2019ve left a golden hue upon the world,
\nYet jealousy and doubt upon my white sleeves.<\/p>\n
But maybe I\u2019m the one with broken mirror,
\nAnd the chinks in my armor are self-inflicted wounds.
\nFriday night after dinner or early Sunday morning,
\nI suppose, you don\u2019t care when, but how
\nYou invade the peaceful valley of my thoughts.<\/p>\n
Thought I had left all of your scraps behind,
\nAnd put in my pockets, only the most desirable pieces.
\nBut your memory, a burning effigy, is still visible.
\nWhen you come in, please sit across from me.
\nThe humble desk will mediate our laughs and tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
