I know you don’t love her

That’s why you come here

Alone, finding me again

I have what you need

 

You ask me how long

For me to later realize

How far you have to go

Before you really know her

 

You could barely stand a day

Without me, always chasing

Now you leave her behind

Barely swelling with child

 

Do you understand what she feels

Married, impregnated, alone

All with no discussion

Not bonding a lifelong companion

 

Yet here we are, axis centered

You’ve come home and smiled again

I see behind those eyes

That longing you bury, belonging

 

We’re side by side again

Guarded, not together but united

Hearts ticking as one

returning to my place you call home
