Simply waiting

It is in the darkness that I find myself,

or more myself finds me.

It is in that which is the easiest to hide,

that I can no longer deceive myself.

The loneliness seeps in,

sleeps in that bed next to me,

a shadow of myself, filled with all my hopes.

I don’t yearn for someone I had or lost,

I never had anyone to lose,

and it’s from that the loneliness seeps;

the giant hole I made in myself

just waiting to let someone in…
