Into his thoughts she crept
Quietly, unbidden
He let her stay
Perhaps too long
And when she chose to leave
He could not bear it
For he had become used
To her presence

I like the ambiguity here, Tara: on the face of it a physical realtionship, yet this could relate to a dream, an obsession, depression…
Great stuff.

Well, you saw right to the heart of things, once again. Personification. Sometimes using that literary device helps others relate to the seemingly unrelatable.

I like the bereft-ness, seems to make the despondence and emotion hang further in the air.
Great piece.
