Patient Love: A Poem

Scott Bauer
She looked aimlessly

Into his saddened eyes

Perhaps for their last time

She pleaded for him to stay

And prayed that

Heartbreaking was a crime

His mind wavered

Against the strength and compassion

Of her plea

Foolishly his mind was frozen

To the fire of feeling

That came from her

Now, alone, and heartless

She waits

For him to return and love her

Years upon years pass

Faithful until his heart was hers

As she knew it would be

Forever
