Sickbed

Why am I sent away? Am I unneeded?
I see you in distress, and yet am shoved
Away. I once declared to you I loved
No one; now I see that is too well heeded
While sincere shows of deep concern are not.
Do not take antique words of fear
And cling to them in spite of proof, my dear.
If I could reach those words, then I would blot
Them out of memory; my honest care
Is all for you, if you would notice it,
And it is pain to leave while you still sit
Uncomforted, alone in your despair.
Who cares how much I love, if, either way
I care for you so much? Please let me stay.
