The day you leave will be the day my bed will be empty
I could not sleep that night
The coldness of the bed sheets were crawling under my skin
I looked around for you or maybe just a shadow I missed
Being alone is a sickness there is no cure for
When not even a book or a cigarette can cure
That night you left was the first time I have felt alone
When I was hungry for your hands to linger on my body
To touch my belly and caress my cheek
Have you ever felt alone, I asked
You said you enjoyed the company of many but that you loved seeing me dance around my room naked
Showing you every part of me that I found ugly
You crept into my room like that was the only place on the planet where you belonged
Then you shut the door ever so quietly
You came inside my darkness and spilled light inside
Inside I was empty but you spread me open
I slept in your warm arms while you dreamt of a world where we would not have to hide under the covers
The morning you left and inside I felt empty again
But this time I knew you will come back
