>Late night blues coming on again. There's some wordplay in that I'm sure. I roll on out of bed and trudge on over to the living room. Brain won't stop attacking me. At least I can do something to distract myself. TV usually helps.
>Same as it always is. Career, kids, money for whatever I want and good friends. Yet still empty.
>A glass of water is poured from the sink into the little glass I've got. I stare in the darkness at my own reflection, mostly obscured and distorted.
>Same diva shit as always. I have everything I could possibly want but still sit here and want more. Bitch. I take a swig and move over to the couch, turning the TV on but muting it.
>It's more or less just flashing colors. I can't focus my eyes on anything as the doom creeps in regardless. No distracting tonight. Think I've got some beer around here if I really have to stew this shit out of me.
>For some godforsaken reason I keep getting this notion of needing someone to wake up to. Some warm body to keep my bed filled. It's a hard thought to shake. Doesn't help that every single time I open my eyes in the morning I feel a sharp dig of regret.
>Thoughts of life with a full family. Daydreams of having a husband, another adult to take care of me if I get sick, to nurture my kids. Our kids.
>God I'm pathetic. I down the rest of the water. I'm a self-made woman not some goddamned damsel waiting in a tower. What I need is to get some sleep and stop crying about my hurt feelings.
>I sigh roughly and just turn the TV off, doing nothing but searing my retinas at this point. I start in the darkness at the pitch black screen as it fades out. If I had somebody to hold onto this would be about the time they'd come in here and make sure I'm okay. Make sure I'm not boiling in my own thoughts about being desperately lonely.
