Lonely

I am lonely

I feel your breath on the back of my neck

I am not alone

You wrap your arms tighter around me and sigh gently

You are at peace

But I am lonely

I want so much to push you away

To tell you that I am dying inside

I am dying and yet you sleep peacefully

I am angry, I am hurt, I want to cry

There are no more tears

No  tears to keep me company

I am truly alone

So sleep and be at peace

As I slowly fade away

Into my loneliness
