Too Much for the Ordinary to Bear

At the door

Someone

Something

Some time

Waits to enter

Waits to leave

Waits for you

To answer

To turn off the lights

To hide

To wait for them 

To give up 

Before the confrontation 

Before the violence

With someone 

With something 

With some time

Which will happen

Despite the door

Being opened

Or closed
