Orange

Orange

A Poem by lum

I thought not being alone meant no nights left awake
No stillness and loneliness
I thought it meant I could have someone to enjoy a small thing with
A slice of orange
Just one
?

Sometimes I pretend I'm two people so I have someone to share with
I'll eat my orange on my own.
Maybe deciding by the end that's what I always wanted
To have the whole thing to myself

I feel warmth in having a shared moment with you
But you would rather eat something else.
