Day 13

I am tempted.

Tempted
To join you.
My idiocy leading us here.

No kiss,
No hug,
No touch of your nimble fingers.

No way of knowing
You wouldn't be there when I woke.

My mind,
A muddled mess.

My body,
An empty shell.

My heart,
A faltering, decrepit, useless organ.

My mouth refuses to make words
Without you.
I can't get sleep
Without you.
I can't process thoughts
Without you.
I can't love
Without you.

I am lost and lonely
Without you.
A small child
In a desolate town.

And all I can think,
Is a single selfish thought.

I still need you.
