I could never really have known,
As I stood with both feet stuck,
and just a door between me and
everything
I did not expect to feel a dream,
so long imagined
that felt so pure
and inexcusably necessary
It did not occur to me
that the promise song
was going to become
exactly what it was.
Nothing could have prepared me
for what waited behind that door
nor could it repair me
from this desperate ruin.
