Empty

It’s what we share

Lonely

It’s how we bond

Without you

Your untouched room 

Is just like my mirror.

I look and I see myself

So I close your door to lock the monsters away

I pray they can’t open doors

The door isn’t enough 

Lonely seeps through the space between the carpet and the slanted door 

I shove towels under my door to keep it out

But lonley seeps in anyway

Uninvited

Unwanted

Seeping through the cracks in me

Dragging me down

I wake up and don’t think I’ve slept at all

Lonely keeps me up

Chattering in my head
