I need you so badly now.
I'm curled up in bed, my feet tangled in blankets and I'm pulling my hair out.
My body is being rocked with sobs.
I want to scream.
I scream into my pillow, handfuls of fabric in my fingers, teeth in the foamy meat of the mattress.
This is what I am.
I am drinking in technology like liquor, to numb this immense emptiness.
I have never felt so lonely.
I need you so badly now.
But you're asleep.
And you have school tomorrow, so I can't wake you up.
But my fingers will dig deeper into my pillow until they bleed and I will sob until my vocal chords fray like rope.
I need you, but I can't bother you.
