there is nothing lonelier

by Carissa Dewey

the stagnant air
hangs heavy over my
closed eyes
as I beg myself
to fall asleep-
that man
he’s got my thoughts-
that man
and his pleasures
I recite things he has said
and the tart feeling
drills deeper
I can’t understand
my attraction
For this man

Those last three lines are just perfect. Especially in how they tie into the title. Great work.
