Knock knock

they long to speak
in fact that's all they do
or rather scream
into hollow ears
that miss the train
to wherever they
plan on taking you
there's times when
for random spontaneity
a whisper is heard
a word resounds
in the audible cavern
a vibration on the skin
was it just the wind
they catch you there
in a sudden second
a moment removed
from the rest of your life
to shake your soul
to feel their cold
to crack open your shell
to know their hell
and for that moment
that word is greater
than anything you realized
could have ever been
and you remember
that outside your door
there's so much more
