So many times
so many women
I have met
I have helped

To get out
to get on their feet
to gain strength
to feel free
to feel seen

Out of care
out of love

Yet here I am
the gatekeeper of love
unloved
unseen
unwanted
once my mission done
no more needed

Who will open a door
just for me?
To show me love?
Am I caught forever in between and never getting there where love exists?
