Background Music: Death Cab for Cutie

At midnight
I sit at my desk
Unable to work.

My hand hovers,
Placing my arrow
Over your name.

I hesitate.
One minute, then five.
Fifteen, twenty.

Countless words flow
From the folds
Of my harried mind.

But the tips
Of my fingers
Refuse dictation.

Another night passes,
When we grow
Further apart.
