Find myself alone


I woke up to find myself alone

In my nightmare cradling my pillow

The beast in my brain playing with me

For I felt my wife's thighs by my side

My warm hand touched her just to be sure

But sleeping she still said not one word

Lucky! She hared to be woken up at night

Indignant said "Use the other bed"

Worst still would be for her to walk out

And to use that bed all for herself 

To desert me, leaving me alone

Stoney cold, losing togetherness

And then waking up all by myself

...not a revelation that I need
