The Door She Never Stopped Waiting At

The Door She Never Stopped Waiting At

She kept staring at the door,

waiting for him—

every day, every hour, every minute.


When the doorbell rang,

her heart would race.

With every chime, she hoped

that this time, it would be him.


And when he returns,

after battles fought and miles endured,

she will hold him.

Her arms will become the home

he has always longed to return to.
