Alone

I reach for sheets
Alabaster and empty
My outstretched hand poised for hope
Towards a dark & quiet phone

Where art thou? My heart keeps wondering
Am I wholly forgotten?
Is it all in my head?
No answer came from the darkness that surround me

Drip drop

The sound of rain

Drip drop it sang
Pattering against the roof
Burbling against the plants
Sloshing along the uneven stones

I roll over & cover myself in sheets
Keeping me warm
Embracing me, protecting me from the cold
But it felt impersonal, inhuman
Why am I harboring such silly thoughts?

I know that these sheets are all the comfort I can get
Why entertain thoughts of your embrace?
When I know that my voice cannot reach you
Why do I let loneliness squeeze my heart?
Drip drop answered the rain
