When You’re No One’s Favorite Person (Trois)

The rain thunders
against your window
like a warning.

A warning to
not fall too deep
into this notion
you’ll be alone.
forever.

Meals for one
become a moment
for two.
The coffee is made
and brought to you
in bed.

An embrace begins
to feel like
home.
Yet, you still
remember.

Remember how
you spent years
alone, loving yourself.
Years alone, making
your own heart happy.

You will continue to
do that work,
with someone
alongside you.
