As I Stand Outside

by anonymous - Scorpio

As I stand outside,
stung by the cold
rain that I never noticed before,
staring at the crack
of light that comes
spilling from under the grey wood door.
As the sky
fills with clouds
like the dome of a familiar cave.

As I ponder
things that I
already know far too well.
To run, to hide,
to stand, to lie,
to spread the silence with a yell.
To merely knock
with impulsive glee
and break the glass beneath my feet.

As I know
that if I knock
she might say simply "no" - and leave.

As I watch the freezing rain
slowly turn to freezing snow.

Reason for writing:

    Well, I think it's pretty obvious what this poem is 
about . . . I don't really know what else to write here.
