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
