Distant
She’d never felt more distant
Nothing short of brilliant
Every emotion subjucated
No longer to be debated
Clearly clinically able to solve
The dilemna now facing all
Able momentarily to stall
Table her love and end the siege
Diving into the breech
A solution all could believe in
Honest true and without spin
Even though her heart now ached
Knowing the cost she’d not escaped
Daring hoping he’d understand
Her inability to speak beforehand
Her sideways glance saw the shock
A smile twitched as he took stock
Of what she’d accomplished
A war on two turfs averted
