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.
