Loneliness –
is coming to an empty bed
attempting to share it
with thoughts
of who you are
of whom you care for
reminding yourself
of her nightmare screams
the fragility
she composes
when you comfort her.
Recalling
the night she sparred
in her dreams
sprained her wrist
missed your cheek
to hit the head board.
Reminisce
when you joined her
in a sleep walk
a night walk
to awaken her.
