Poem In My Bed

I promised you
That I would come to bed
Buy my mind wants to keep searching

I am writing a poem
In a bed that is threatening
Because you are not in it
Whose breathing
To calm me if I wake
From the nightmares of my childhood
There are no arms to hold me,
Only a mind that searches
Writing this poem
Sleep in my bed
Without you
