I\u2019ll Wait<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep ringing the doorbell in the rain, I\u2019ll wait<\/p>\n
for you to leave before opening to check<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
if you\u2019re a man I want to let in and grasp<\/p>\n
at your shoes, yanking them off in desperation<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to rid yourself of rain that seeped past<\/p>\n
your socks and clings to your toes, I\u2019ll wait<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
before my hand shakes and I lean and grasp<\/p>\n
at the round, cool handle keeping you out. I\u2019ll let<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the rain fall, let it drench your core, let you shiver<\/p>\n
as you hover on my stoop and wait.<\/p>\n
