lonely friday night

when all your friends have partners

lonely Friday night

everyone else found delight

Bumble swiping right

*

pizza box on floor

TV hums a quiet roar

Netflix asks “watch more?”

*

cat curls on my lap

soft purrs like a gentle tap

hope begins to sap

*

moonlight through clear glass

shadows creep and slowly pass

peace evades my grasp

*

time stalls without friend

no replies to likes I send

God, make this night end!
