Empty Bed
Charlie shifts and turns, crumpled sheets wrapped around him, like a cloak of pretence.
The empty pillow next to him is still dented, still smells of cologne.
He can still feel the ache of his brother inside him; his hip still bears the shape of Don's teeth, his lip is still swollen where he bit down on it, trying to be quiet, but Charlie knows that Don is long gone.
He doesn't know why it still hurts, still disappoints, waking up alone. He should be used to it by now.
Probability mocks him, but maybe next time will be different.
