Thank you is enough
Prolonged deep in
A pining heart
Feel no loneliness
Emptiness still tries to
Claim a seat at the table
Uninvited
We learn how
To protect the self
From that feeling
A certain kind of
Person can give
Like a punch in the gut
Want to climb out of
My body feeling
Bad leftovers
Resist the vampire
Charm the smile and
The swarming in of a
New friend holding
Out their arms
But only there to
Clean out your goods
Take hold of whatever
Risky business
They want and manipulate
You into their
Emotionless map
Feelingless trap
I’m waiting for
Something real
Unquestionably so
We don’t have to lay
On top of one another
We can sleep
In separate corners
I only need us
To be nice
