Paperweight
Because on Saturday night I am in bed and
fall asleep
alone
Because on Sunday morning I sit in a pew and
wait for help
forsaken
Because on Monday I sit at my desk and
try to work
isolated
Because each day I formulate love letters to you
on pretty paper
undelivered
I have decided that for the time being my Bible
will become a
paperweight
