Alone with yourself

When the night is empty
of even echoes,
what do you hear there
in the silence?

When it’s past midnight
and the lights are out,
what do you see there
watching you in the dark?

When you’re lying in bed
reaching for sleep,
what do you feel there
between your sheets?

When you think that you’re alone,
who is right there by your side?
Who else would be there,
but the you whom you wish to hide?
