a stretch in solitary confinement

you truly
do not know, or understand
loneliness until
you are in
a horrible relationship
with someone
and you live with that person.
there they are
lying next to you, a foot away,
both of you
wide awake.
it is the seventh
layer of hell.
nothing tops it.
not even doing a five
to ten stretch
in the county jail.
