Waking Up Alone

A Poem

By D351Published 2 years ago 1 min read

Shit's complicated.

I like her, but she doesn't like me

At least not like that

Not like I love her

Not like a thirst that can't be quenched

A breath I'll never catch

Shit's complicated.

Their fireworks were magical

A first annual spectacle

A seasonal affair

I'd rather celebrate all year

Shit's complicated.

I feel desire in her touch

Even greater than my own

An exploratory mission

But limited in scope

She's found me, but she's needed at home

Shit's complicated.

We had the dream and I woke up

Her love was built on trust I broke

Yet here we stand

Together ghosts

Gentle

Loving

Cold

Shit's complicated.

I hold them and attempt to sleep

Their warmth

Their scent

Their fingertips leaving hot lines in flesh

I hold their fantasy and weep

Because shit's complicated.
