RIVERWOODS POEMS: NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

I have to learn to sleep alone.

With fleece sheets to keep me warm,

Burrowing into my memory foam ,

I do my best to sleep alone.

Curled around his broader form

I felt his heart beat like my own.

Now I must learn to sleep alone.

For all the lonely nights to come

We must be two: I must be one.

I have to learn to sleep alone.
