Words at Night

What is it
that is preventing you
from extending
a hand to me

From what
keeps your soul
from loving me?

How is it
that you do not
miss me?

When I’ve done
nothing but
care for you

What is it
inside of you
that allows this silence
to persist?

Are there
too many thoughts
sticking you to your past?

Or is it
that I am not
enough to fill
your mind with others?

With or without caring
I am still here
Though,
I will remain with myself

and only to myself
will I speak these words
at night

whether I
fight sleep
or waking

With myself,
living is easier
then existing in distractions.
