Call

Woke up crying from a nightmare,
Reaching out to the empty side of my bed,
My hand flies to my phone and my finger hovers over your name,
I sit like this with tears streaming down my face for a good minute,
Then I lock my phone and cuddle my pillow,
I do not press call because I realised that you don't care anymore,
You would find it inappropriate if I called at 3am crying,
You wouldn't be happy if I told you all the fears I dream of nightly,
I do not press call because every time I reach out I'm forced back further then before.
