How could she miss him?
Him striding with grace
Her scooting along, a confused look on her face
He focused
Her unsure
Him taking the steps
She searched for the door
No welcome awaited, her presence undetected
He glided with urgency, as if highly expected
Just as she entered
No smile on her chin
The voices within called out to him
"Wait!"
"Don't leave yet."
"Your child is alive!"
But Robert departed
the day his daughter arrived
ReplyDeleteI...damn. I thought it was a romance at first, then had to go back and read it again. On the fourth line, I believe 'He' should be 'Him.'
