The Boundary

My love is in the other room
And I am here online,
With choices that we each could make,
Just simple steps we each might take,
For which we might repine —

But there’s a price to pay —
For if the boundary is crossed,
Then something precious can be lost
And love lie broken
On a field of play.

My love, she’s in the other room,
She’s trusted me to hold her heart,
When we are home together, or apart —
To say the words, and make them stick,
To tend each other when we’re sick,
And prove love out by what I never
