Love

Dear baby
I am on the other side of your door
I can hear the turmoil
Of exhaustion
Coursing through you
Bellowing from the chasm
Desiring sleep
You didn't want me to coax you
With my arms
You fretted sitting up
Pushing me away
You wanted no comfort
I imparted my love words
Placed you lovingly down
It kills me to hear you call out
So I go back in
You still will not have me
You still will not lay down
I go back out
You scream louder
Dear baby
I am on the other side of your door.
