Lifeless Comfort

Lifeless Comfort

by CL

Lately, my bed is the best company.

Disturbed by the sound of uneven breaths.

Thoughts become blankets, silence my pillow.

The only thing that understands what is.

A swaddled child in lifeless comfort.

My mind afraid of its disinterest.

Distancing myself from those who hold joy.

Alien thoughts have arrived unwelcome.

My role model, forgotten how to love.

Happy and belligerent, has left me.

Far from home.

Home where love and happiness can be found.

But now, where I lie in lifeless comfort.
