a bolted door

oh superman
i cannot wait
i took the pill
any minute now i will sleep
i sent you a message
left my words to him on my door
oh, but wait, the key
i must remove it from the bag
i want him to have it
my key, my heart
but there on the door
with the cd and my words
the key
anyone can take
and then i will not feel safe
for years, superman,
i sat awake
waiting
watching the door
thinking the man from my past
would return
and take away more
and this time
i would not be strong enough
to fight
and so i sat awake
watching the door
with extra bolts
dad, thank you for those
the man did not come
and i fear him no more
superman, bring your friend to me
