The Unwritten Poem

They had fought all day over the poem  
     unwritten.
She had believed it to be a letter    
A letter to another girl besides her  
He had known the other, way before he 
    had met her.  
The jealousy she felt to know that he had      
Put words and feelings on paper down     
Brought tears to her eyes as she felt      
Betrayed and hurt as she made no sound.  
Looking up at him with eyes opened wide    
Love and sorrow shined bright
How could he feel this way she thought        
Gathering her things to leave his sight        
He grabbed her arm to say a word
To show her that she was the one he
    sought        
He loathed fighting with her
She should know he loved her he thought
He placed her on his knee and kissed her face
Baby, you are the one I want to love in the
    night
My arms want to hold you each day
He opened the paper to stop the fight
To show her his love in actions and not in
    the poem unwritten.
