While the night slumbered  

I stared into nothing.  

I reached out my pinky  

And felt a touch.  

But no promise.  

They had warned me not to look  

beneath the mattress.  

But I only see myself.

I only write poems for English class, but after this, I might start writing them for fun.

This is going straight into my favorites. The amount of emotion and feeling you conveyed in so little words, is breathtaking. I wish I had your skill!
