Stark Truth
I follow him to bed
Where he waits
Silent
He holds me as I fight sleep
and the dreams
where I can’t find him
Sleep steals me away
And he slips from my grasp
Morning brings stark truth
And I suffer the weight of solitude
My life of dog fostering, creative writing and living with mental illness and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT).
Stark Truth

Where he waits
Silent
He holds me as I fight sleep
and the dreams
where I can’t find him
Sleep steals me away
And he slips from my grasp
Morning brings stark truth
And I suffer the weight of solitude
