You leave my side at first chance
You’re silent the whole way home
You won’t talk to me, you fidget silently
But maybe that’s for my good

Better leave right away
And save me any moments
You’re much too kind
I’m much too comfortable

My covenant sisters are for us
They hesitate to pray
They think it would be cute
But I don’t know what's on your mind

And who knows if my heart’s
Just fluttering on you for a minute
And who said I was ready
That I could awaken love?

So I’ll attempt poetry to bleed it out
And my readers will have to bear
Each mushy gushy trail of words
Until you leave for good
