be patient

she says i can't read your poetry
anymore.
it's too sad.
too maudlin and blue.
you're broken heart
and
anxiety is killing me.
you're no fun anymore.
what happened, what
went wrong?
i miss the old you.
be patient, i tell her.
i'll be back, i'm on my
way, not to worry.
more frivolous poems
are coming, stay tuned.
