Wind chimes,
you kept insisting
that i put one at my door.
It's lucky, you said.
So, i did
hang one at my doorstep...
And so these chimes,
welcomed you into my home.
You never had to knock,
you just came as you pleased.
With fair warning,
they became the sound
of your coming and going..
And the sound of your leaving..
With you gone,
these chimes,
became loud.
painful,
deafening...
No, it can't trick me
into thinking you'll come.
Not anymore.
The door is locked now.
The chimes?
Well, they hang
by the window..
