My pillow says I hug it too tight,
It’s red,
But I squeeze till it’s white,
It says I project,
But I reject that assumption,
As untrue,
Easy to say,
If you’re a pillow and lay
there with someone to hold you.
I’ve slept alone for so long,
No one with whom to meld;
Lying twixt two pillows,
Feels almost like being held.
