come home to me

[Inspire2NADIA]

darkness spread around
the house evenly
with the silent blanket

a flash of someone's headlights
lit up the livingroom
once in a while

each time i thought it
might be you coming home
to me after a long day's work
walking up the steps
turning the knob with
hope that i'd be your
sleeping beauty already in bed
so you can tiptoe to its
edge and kiss me
take off your clothes and gently
lay down next to me

the door creaks nevertheless
but you're not disappointed
