SelfishMorning

Oh how I wish 
that you were here 
on this chilly morning 
to roll over onto 
and into warming me 
staving off the need
to stray out of 
bed and into cold 
to ignite the fire 
and warm the house 
being content with my 
morning selfishness with warming
myself and leaving the 
rest of the world 
to its own devices 
I’m simply not ready 
yet to care about 
anyone else but us
