The rain is tapping against the window
All at once begging my to come out and play
And driving me further into
the depths of warm covers
And a comfortable bed
I’m restless
I am exhausted
I find myself hurting
Drowning
Echoing
In emptiness
My body, my heart
Ask where you are
Not with a desire for knowledge
But with an aching
A need for you to be here with me
Whether playing in the rain
Or drawing ever closer to each other’s warmth
My mind of course knows you’re working
Or doing some other sensible, much needed thing
But that doesn’t change
Nor cure this ever-longing agony
Even together
You seem out of reach
Distant
Disconnected
And I am trapped here in emotional indecision
Restless
Exhausted
And aching
for you
