Layers

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.
