Sitting here with wine, chocolate

And trashy TV for company.

Feeling lonely and thinking of you—

Always a tonic for times like this.

Wishing for a night of nothingness

Together, to fill the void.

Longing to exchange chocolate for your roaming hands,

To taste the wine from your soft, warm tongue

Instead of this cold, hard glass.

Desiring some company, cuddles, conversation.

Hungry for flesh-pressing pleasures—

Arousing touch, sleepy spooning, orgasm,

A warm and inviting body beside me when I wake.

So we won’t soul f*ck,

But that’s ok.

A comfort f*ck every now and again

Keeps the loneliness at bay.

Dear friend, can we have a night

Of benefits

And light-hearted fun

And easy togetherness?

So I can forget for a while

How alone I really am.
