The Wait Outside

 Knock, knock, knock

Is anyone home?

Will you let me in?

It's dark out here

And I'm alone by myself

A wee bit of warmth

Companionship, may be

That;s all I ask for

Or just give me a corner

To sit in, watch 

As yoy laugh and play

In your bright world

Happy reminder 

Of my erstwhile days

Before drought sucked life

Before holocaust hit

We were friends then

Now you outcast me

Leave me to roam

In land of Hades

A shadow in a shadowy realm

Unseen, unsung

A specter striving to survive.
