When I Miss You

When I miss you,
I fall out of bed.

I dream of you calling me
and I am scared.

I don’t want to love you.
I don’t want to know you.
I miss you all the same.

You call me from prison.
You call me from the depths of regret.
You call me from a town called Sinister.
You call me from my childhood.

I miss you at night
when I seek to be whole.

When I miss you,
I am overtaken with shock
and I fall out of bed.
