Home

When days away 

I do confess

I strive to love you less.

I expound on every reason

Reason can sustain

I tell myself “Refrain,

Think! Be sensible!

There is no blame

In common sense:

Indeed it has been said

Shut down that heart

Lead with your head”

And then you come 

And one word alone

Makes me yet again

Your welcome-home.
