And you might yourself
some night
lying in bed with another,
but never so more alone than ever.

And you might fight the urge,
the primal urge to connect,
to explore all the corners
of the universe
because you know
for them it's just ritual,
their social duty.

And you seek brightness,
the light is nirvana
with another,
who has a higher purpose,
a devout follower of feelings
outside the human body.
