Another Love Poem by mark king

I. Darkness surrounds us in the night lying together as man and wife. With a deep sigh I fall asleep as she lies awake fighting herself and what’s right. Her thoughts of another lover only seem to mock her.

II. Sunlight pokes at us through the window making me stir in that instant, between sleeps embrace and wakefulness truth comes and I know there is love here, but it is not aimed at me as I look her over as if she were a stranger.
