Untitled

Closing myself off in my mind,

Hiding from the loneliness constantly flitting on the edges of my consciousness. 

Picturing your sweet smile

To brighten my heart.

Overcome with sadness

That I cannot touch the center of my world.

Curling quietly up in my blanket, 

Reliving every word of our conversation. 

Realizing how lucky I am 

That you would even look my way.

Wrapping my arms tightly around my waist 

Paralyzed with the pain of missing you.

Closing my eyes tightly,

Wishing only for the morning and

Another taste of your affection.
