Keychain
I'll open the door;
Just let me find the keys I chucked away,
And grab my umbrella for a rainy day.
Move away the piles of litter
Keep them out as insects skitter.
Throw away tissues that form a rainbow,
Realise how hard it is to let go.
Make my bed - there's my keys!
Maybe you'll still love me on days like these.
You knock on the door to help me out
"I'm nearly done!" I want to shout,
I don't want you to see so I don't.
Not a sound.

It will take some patience and some more
But I will open the door: for you.

Just let me find my keys.
