Ink walls

There is a room in a tower
And as you
      Draw near
                Each step
                        Each stone
                               And floor
                                     And  
                                          At
                                          The
                                           Bottom
                                                Room
There was a table in the middle of the room
                            On the table
                        Was a typewriter

The walls were covered in ink
                                        In
                                          The
                                      Distance
                          Was being written
On the wall
 A plea
         For I was visible by someone’s eye
To love me forever and ever
                         Even when ink goes empty from my pen
To love her
I, the hopeless of hopeless men
     Who look for love
Could never refuse such a request
                   I was to wait
                   In this room and see…
Aging with her and we would live together
Yet she never appeared not once
But treasures arrived in rooms on random floors
                      With a
                      Single
                    Present
                     In the
                     Room
In another room empty
Filled with boxes of treasures bequeathed to me in times
I needed
I wait swinging along tress 170 years old
Outside the ink wall room
                                    To ones day
                                     See
                                    Whether
                                    What I have
                                   Wondered of love,
                                                 Is it
                                   Near or
                                      Far?
