I go to the corner of my mind where you always wait, No space between, Just you & me A Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf romance, parallels, I’m Orlando, Poem titled “The Oak Tree” I can’t hold you, yet Trailing, everyone would stare - That night I would’ve put my arm around you I fear that’s how I lost you, Too scared, Too in awe, Too hard to love But in the room of sliding doors you didn’t falter, I never forgot Flowers everywhere I wish I could’ve framed the way you looked at me with those eyes, Held you, Kissed you And told you how I was never the same afterwards, I couldn’t eat, For I had loved, unspoken. Only to realise after
