Bittersweet


from the ABC set Dear Romeo - The Love Poems

In the attic
She lies beneath
A blue square of sky
Clinging to the bed clothes
She can still smell
The cake he baked for her
His bottom line written
In untidy icing
Turning
She watches
Him waltzing across
The pillows and her breath
Slows asking him to
Stay A while.

Nice one- I like the wave-like structure, gives it a rather soothing rhythm.
