Unable to find sleep
I laid wide awake
tossing and turning
only one thought on my mind.
That night at midnight
the only person
I wanted was the very one
just out of my reach.
I reached to hold
a hand that wasn’t there,
a hand I wanted to be there.
The thought of you
wanting you, next to me,
holding me, kissing me,
against me, with me
wasn’t enough.
Just enough
to keep me awake
not enough
to make it real.
I laid all night
in a lonely bed
bright eyed, mesmerized
thinking of you
remembering every detail
your smile, your laugh
your touch, your body
replaying everything we’d done
every memory, every word
over and over again
feeling it again
like the first time
wishing it were real
wishing you were here
and not there
from oceans away
missing you, loving you
not finding rest,
only finding you.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
