Room of Her Own

Room of Her Own

She wanted a room of her own
so he mindlessly gave her
a designer bedroom next to
a nursery in pink and blue
which became a sewing room
later made into craft room
and then into a parlor
to read books when he
was away where she waited
for years until she left.
Walking through the empty house
finally he understood
when she said
a room of her own
she meant
one without him.
