Lift door closes

Updated: Mar 30, 2023

Ah, the lift door opens

Setting quite the welcoming scene

I step inside and savour

Not a person in sight, so serene

But as the door proceeds to encase me

Gently wrapping me in

I hear the footsteps of anxiousness

Eagerly attempting to step within

I pretend to rush to press the button

But the one which closes the door

I innocently wave my hand in the air

‘So sorry’ as I gaze at the floor.
