I am learning lonely
I am learning to
Be alone
Again
I use to know how
To be just me
And not a reflection
Partner
Mother
Worker
Boss
Friend
But these last 20 years of together
Him and me
The kids the kids the kids the kids
And you my dear friends
Have left me feeling
Ill at ease with me
Alone
Quiet
Silent
Thoughtful
Still
Me
Still me
Me still
Doesn't really
Feel good yet
I know it will
In time
I am learning lonely
There are many sounds in this silence
The cat's whine from the basement
The TV heard from another room
The drip drip drip of water left on
The snow plow across the street
The hollow buzz of my vibrator
And my own low moan
I am learning alone
Trying to think, write, feel
Dreaming again
Cooking for one
Freezing leftovers
Making only half a pot of coffee
Letting the chocolate melt slowly in my mouth
Crying loudly during a movie
Long hot showers with no one waiting
I still sleep on my side of the bed
Don't ask me why this side
It just is my side of the bed.
I am learning lonely and alone
