okay, i get that, but not from the poem. for example, you say that the door never speaks, though it tries. i generally find obstacles to be indifferent to my plight. and, i'm sure that everyone and everything that challenges me does not have any special insight into my soul. i'm not trying to be argumentative; i just think this got a little mystical for what you were aiming at. and, why torn in two? see, i think there's much that can be said here, but i think you are not putting down everything you have worked through in your thoughts. have you read it aloud to yourself? sometimes hearing it is much much different than writing or reading it. the ears 'see' what the familiar eye does not. tighten.
