Darling, I Hug a Pillow

Darling, I
Hug a pillow in absence of you

Darling, I
Hug a pillow to replace your face
Loving you
Is a trauma no one else should face
Or sit still for

Why can’t you give me
Some physical love?
Why can’t you give me
Some physical love?
Everything else is in place
Except physical love

Darling, you
Will cry for me in the years to come
In the hope
Of a moment that cannot return
Thankfully

Why can’t you bring figs
All pulpy and moist?
Roasted in passion
And salty in voice?
No longer keeping a secret
Of your secret place

Why can’t you give me
Some physical love?
Why can’t you give me
Some physical love?
Everything else is in place
Except physical love

Darling, I
Hug a pillow in absence of you
Darling, I
Hug a pillow to replace your face
Darling, I
Hug a pillow to replace your face
