Together Alone
We were alone together
In this sitting room.
I would draw on my laptop,
While he had his camera on zoom.
We were alone together
Now I’m alone alone.
I am studying poetry
Because he’s not on the phone.
We were alone together
As I sat by his bed.
He still didn’t speak but then he winked
As I laid my hand on his head.
I wish I could be with you
Together and not alone
I wish I could be with you
And you were not cold as stone.
