On the bed, on the chair

As my heart darts fervently 

Crawling through the three feet between us 

Between your crowding bodies, limbs intertwined 

Yet I, left lonely on an empty isle

Left surrounded by an emptiness profound

That my feet dangle along the edges

Blurred by tears and heads heavy 

I feel my hands tender, bruised 

Finger pads left alone, excluded 

And my veins beating away the want for 

You

The noise and the chatter fill the room

Of the noises humans could make 

That connections could make 

Yet I couldn't bear to open up and contribute

Muted before birth and still after severance

I fell in love and felt resentment 

I long for you in entirety 

Yet flinch at the thought of your touch

So I remain in the same room, yet sit apart

A far three feet away 

And it doesn't feel enough
