My notebook on the table
my pen against my cheek
your sigh a substitution
for words you needn’t speak
My smile apologetic
intent to reassure
Your glare unsympathetic
your leaving premature
My words the instigation
but take these next as true
for I am not so distant, dear
I wrote this one for you
Your heart a sanctuary
