Analysis of Where I Am
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Where I am,
Is here for you.
With nothing to say.
But do it to prove.
Even your moods and attitudes,
I seem to understand.
Before you do.
In my mind you are.
All the time to occupy.
Explanations I don't have.
Nor do I wish to find,
Reasons why.
Where I am is here for you
And this you should know.
To have heard to hear it from me said.
Day up and night down.
With you in my head.
Awaiting for you to appear,
In every dream incomplete.
Without you in each one.
There and near where I am!
