Alone
The stain under the couch.
Snores too much.
I ignore it, but I still don’t sleep.
The blanket shudders.
Because of me.
Grinding my teeth.
The raincoat in the corner.
It drips with blood.
And howls.
I had pizza for dinner.
And I always want more.
And more.
So at 2:44 am,
I lurk by the fridge.
The pizza talks.
We laugh a bit.
Don’t eat me…Don’t eat me…
I woke up again at 5:25 am.
I killed the pizza and ate it.
Everyone’s asleep.
I used to live alone.
Until they came to life.
