reaching for someone

empty skeletal hands reaching for the sun
bone can't feel when it's being burned

organs so desperate to function for another
hands accept other hands, regardless of whether they fit

there is pain in longing
when being alone is a fear
when loss is a fear

fingernails scrabble at the damp earth
always seeking an elusive companion

this massive world turns dark
when you turn your back to loneliness but find no one
