When in the matter of a few hours,

suddenly, trying to piece everything together

evaded me. I dug deep into my mind

not realizing why loose ends remain.

Suddenly I felt completely alone,

wondering about my day, my afternoon.

What if I shared this with someone,

I thought to myself. I realized I can’t. 

This is right where my defenses align

themselves with what is true in my life.

Sometimes I wonder alone how much

I am missing, in a general day. 

Tonight, I don’t want to go anywhere,

but I wish someone might come to me.

I do have her, she watches over me.
