Restless

There are some nights -
when the clock's ticking is magnifyed
on these nights -
the chill of the sheets
cannot be lessoned
by the warmth of your body
some nights -
your normal position
cannot offer you comfort
and it's this kind of night -
that causes you to need
an embrace so much
even if the arms,
are only your own.
