just poured my soul out
to a ghost to gobble up
wish he had heard me
instead of just listening
i don’t want anything more than
a body next to mine for a few minutes
i said
and was refused
that small request
felt hurt
unimportant
but what do i care
i’m just homesick.
just need someone to fill the void
that i left in my own bed
