there are layers to loneliness
one layer can be taken care of
by simply going to work
a layer could be satisfied
by an afternoon at a dog park
yet another can be fixed by texting a friend
and the next by going out with one
the next layer requires a mother
and other family type interaction
the next requires my mother
and the rest of my family
and my childhood home
beyond that is a layer of holding
someone to cuddle after a long day
and ask no questions
and give love through simple touch
beyond that...
a human needs all those layers satisfied at once
to feel truly human
and whole.
