Bed

I'm close to the edge So far to this side I feel less alone In this place where I hide The middle is there Close to that side- Was warm once before Where we once did collide. Enraptured in passion Then surrounded with calm Just us in our space So safe from all harm. No beginning No ending Just complete, just one. Soft whispers "I love you" Held close as day's done. Pain from the quiet Can't believe it's so loud Alone in the silence My heart the lone sound. This side is much safer No memory or scent No sounds to remind me How it was, how it went. That side is the space once I kept just for you. Now I reach, wish to find you, It's all I can do. I stay from that side now From the empty and cold. Nothing to warm me Nothing left there to hold.
