Lonely Nights

I put my head on my pillow,

and imagine it’s your chest,

because if you were here,

my heart would ache less.

I snuggle into my blanket,

and pretend it’s your arms,

because if you were here,

I wouldn’t want to self harm.

I read your texts late at night,

and wonder what you’d say

because if you were here,

you’d wipe my tears away.

I listen to your voice,

and envision you with me,

because if you were here,

I could finally fall asleep.
