Poem

Write me a poem, will you?
for all the nights of angst you have had.
I will hang it up by my bed,
and have a good nights sleep under it.

Write me a poem, will you?
for every word I went back on.
I will keep it in my diary,
besides the list of promises you kept.

Write me a poem, will you?
for all the times I have erred.
I will keep it by my bed,
like a symbol of your resolve.

Write me a poem, will you?
for all your hopes I dismayed.
I will keep it under my pillow
and dream my glorious dreams.

Write me a poem will you?
for every time I have looked elsewhere.
I will keep it in my mind
as a reminder to keep my faith.

Write me a poem, will you?
for all the poems you've written me thus far.
I will keep it in my heart
in the void of your absence.
