I’m barely awake

as these words flow,

I’m not hard

but I am feeling a desire

to not be alone.

It’s been so long

since I have had any

that I have forgotten

what it was like,

being alone is not the same.

Awake I will not be soon enough,

if only I were not going to bed alone,

if only I could share my bed

with someone

and share my love with them.
