Your Name, Darling

I keep a notebook by my bed

For the thoughts that fill my head

When I’m losing sleep

These thoughts of me

I woke one morning to behold

Quick scribbled, a confession

One word written:

Your name, again, again

Now, as sad stuffs reminisce

I still taste your toothy grins

And consider when

You drew us holding hands

Tomorrow, I hope to think

A softer song to sing for sleep

Not your sleepy name

“Come home, Darling.”
