The Welcome Mat

Grief came calling today 

Truth was 
She'd been reaching out for some time 

texts messages 
phone calls 
knocks on the door 

But I didn't answer  
(couldn't wouldn't)

Grief came calling today 

And

When she came round I opened the door (just a crack) 

Trying to discern how long she was going to stay

Grief came calling
today

And

I'm making space

For her
