A space in her heart

I need space, he said!
yet, wanted her on the periphery
of his being
.
He knew she talked with
the moon
sharing her angst,
That she wrote poetry
about her intensity,
and, his indifference

He often ridiculed her poetry
calling it fancy words
put together,
crafted to entice.
She wanted him to feel her poems
that she draped around
her soul
but he could only read-
and, barely so!
He wanted space
not knowing that
he had it all along
 in her heart
