Every doorway is a shadow

by steadfast twilight

1.
If you squint
you can see my admiration for you
Tripping down the carpeted steps
Landing with a thud on its back
Looking up at the ceiling and wondering how it survived
Another fall.

2.
I am your chump change.
Used when you need me the least.
Hidden at the bottom of my mind.
Give me a telephone call as your last resort.
I'll gladly accept your forgotten invitation.
