Bedroom Wars

I was wondering
Why I was fighting off sleep
Tonight.
Why I was sleeping on the couch
The night before,
The night before that.
The night I sleep in a bed
That is built for more than a single
Is the night
I start fighting the war
Against phantoms
That know not physical wounds
And only psychological war fare.
The skeleton in the closet
Which has the broken door,
Mocks me
For the empty space
That was filled only days previous,
Knowing very well
That he is naked
In a wardrobe.
Funny how that works,
How we can never seem to see
What’s in front of us
Until it’s of no use.
