sleepless alone

all that’s left is this lonely bed
who’s length and width are boundless by god’s design
how long can my legs stretch over edge
how far can my arms reach the side
to the end they will find
the rhythm through my chest and this mattress
through temple to pillow, it throbs from mind
the percussion of your absence; it is torturous
through this bed, my canvas, it speaks as alive
