Confessions of a Lonely Woman

I slept on the edges of single beds

Night after night

Leaving enough room for you

To hold me in my sleep

I longed for your body heat

And ached for the delicious sensation

Of your body weight on top of me

Holding me down

Protecting me from monsters under my bed

Your breath on my neck kept me up at night

And future memories of a bear hug

Haunted my day dreams and my waking hours

I drew images of affectionate intimacy

In the smoke of my cigarette

And pictured you a dark shadow around the corner

Hand on my door knob

Twisting my heart open

You were my last thought before sleep

The first in the morning

And all in between

I can write a book on you

Your every habit

And give aways

Your hoarse voice

And the way you say my name

But still I’m waiting for a coincidence

The moment we cross paths

The fireworks

Eyes meet..
