Late at night
when I’m desperate
raw with longing
for him,
sometimes for her
aching panic
in the dark
for all those future worlds
I’ll never be
a sudden thought occurs to me
I’m still so young inside
thinking this way
I haven’t given up
knowing that
I tell my clinched hands
that’s enough now
let me
sleep
