Staring at the Ceiling

The salty sweat on my fingers make my eyes sting when I rub them

And the only things here for me are

Words from those in another realm

And a pile of soggy tissues on my bedroom floor

And I can't help staring at the blank ceiling

Feeling the touch of my pillow and wishing

That I was feeling the touch of your skin
