I can hear the wind
Screech across the shutters
Like nails
Dragging down a chalk board
I lie awake
Listening
Waiting
Mostly for your call.
Or a message
Or something
I don’t get it
I never do
I don’t know why I hold my breath
For something that so irregularly happens
You say things will change
You make me believe it
Believe you
But slowly that trust is fading
And I don’t think you realize
That some nights
I don’t feel like I know you
I’m not convinced
You are truly invested
I feel guilty
So I don’t tell you
But most days and nights
I feel more alone than I ever have
Is it because
You showed me what it’s like
To not feel this way?
But what did I do
For you to change
For you to take away
That comfort
That security
I want it back
Please don’t go
