Sleeping Alone Sucks
By Emily Lushbaugh
February 2, 2023
I woke up crying
Because you weren’t beside me
It’s moments like this when I realize
Life sucks without you by my side
The days drag along slowly
And my soul feels extraordinarily lowly
Because I can’t see your face
Because I can’t feel your embrace
It’s always in hindsight
That we recognize the blight
And in the moments of pure joy
We take for granted, and we destroy
We are a broken society
Weighed down by sadness and anxiety
Distracted by guilty pleasures
Avoiding and fighting countermeasures
My advice to you on this gloomy day
Is to meet the ones you love halfway
Pick and choose the battles you fight
And maybe you won’t sleep alone tonight
