Love Returning

Too many late nights

My eyes red and sore

As a bottle of wine

Accompanied me to the door.



Your blue eyes twinkled

There was a smirk on your face

As you mentally noted

I was a disgrace.



With smudged mascara

My hair not seen a comb

Since you had left me

Here all alone.



You stood at the door

Blonde hair combed and neat,

Immaculately dressed

Right down to your feet.



My housecoat was scruffy

One slipper was gone,

Nail polish chipped

All had gone wrong.



You opened your arms

As you gave me a smile

Then assured me our love

Was more than worthwhile.



At last I was home

Held close to your heart

Knowing nothing on earth

Could ever keep us apart.
