Waking Up Lonely

In the morning, I dread waking up. When I do, there is no you. Since you left me, it's the one thing I haven't been able to get used to. There are nights I drink coffee, Trying to make myself stay awake. On the hard days I'm missing you, There are these pills that I take. In the end, it doesn't matter. Eventually my body will give in. Sleep is a necessity in life; This battle I can never win. When I wake up and it's empty There on your side of the bed, This wave of loneliness and anxiety Rushes through my head. Quickly I remember again That you left me and went away. That makes the anxiety leave me, But the loneliness will stay.
