My fingers
are bleeding
from scratching
beneath the surface
of loves
many wicked ways
stirring nausea
from deep within
I reach across the bed
aching to hold you tonight
an empty presence lingering
at the tips of my fingers
ailing for your touch
arched over city lights
caught upon the face
of another man
the everyman’s
empty presence lingering
in place of
who I used
to be
