Domain: The Visit Poem by Nika McGuin

I heard you pull up outside
you rang the doorbell incessantly
thoughts rapidly traverse through my mind
of all the times you came here before

Back then, I'd opened my door wide
and let the big bad wolf crawl inside
I became a wide-eyed mule,
to whom you were cruel
and of whom you made a tool
yes me, a damn well knowing fool

So this time, I didn't answer
the ringing fell on deaf ears
and as I heard your footsteps
reluctantly trail away
I knew this wasn't the end
you'd be back again, but
only to see that I've regained reign
and you'll never again enter my domain
