A Simple Desire

A sleepless night,
until day did I shut my eyes
too scared to crawl into bed because of the vast empty that awaited me
the stale cold sheets would be the only to gently but unknowingly cradle me to slumber
I waited all night to see a response
the anticipation crawling through seamless cracks, tormenting even my dreams
all night
decent sleep past 10 i awoke
i held your thoughts close
one word
one simple goodnight
one simple visual to entice my longing eyes
and then nothing
i desperately seek the call logs
and then nothing
you fill my ears with sweet simple desires
love
do you not feel the empty of the bedsheets?
do you go to bed in ease?
i long to be free of this ailment that ties me to the bed of despair and sorrow
ill keep you close in heart forever
but distant in mind
a small simple desire that fuels animosity
a small simple desire with such a strong hold
set me free
