chocolate

chocolate and all the other things that help me cope with the fact that i'm alone

--

midnight
the kitchen swims in moonlight
and it's only the sound of
the skin on the bottom of my feet
across the tile floor

and opening the cabinets
in search of something to comfort me
i'll find some chocolate;
suck on it through tears

two a.m.
the moon in the window
and my eyes in the stars
i'm remembering how i'm perpetually
alone
