I am still here
waiting for you
I've built a house
of semi-colons,
because it doesn't stop here
and question marks,
because I want to hear
all of your stories
I've filled my house with quotes
Christina Rossetti
Sara Teasdale
Charles Bukowski
and you
lots and lots
of you
my darling, I've missed you
when you return
I have for you
a lovely pair of parentheses
to keep you safe
and out of harm's way
