Close The Door
The door is sealed shut
to lock in the spiraling shadows
that are so haunting at night
The barrier brings comfort,
muffling the bustling mascaraed
while silencing staggered breaths
The separation instills peace
from plastered smiles and,
manuscripted parley
There is no key
There is no lock
Turn away, like before
