Hindsight

THE EMPTY BED
WAITS
COVETING
THE PRESENCE
THAT USED TO DWELL
BETWEEN THE SHEETS
NAKED AND BLISSFUL
CURLED UP BESIDE HER
THE GIRL
WHO TOSSES AND TURNS
WANTING
SHE LAYS 
COLD AND HOLLOW
POSSESSED BY LONELINESS
ACHING FOR A SOUL
TO FILL THE VOID
IN THE EMPTY BED
THAT ONCE WAS FILLED
WITH LOVE
AND YOU.

Hindsight is like 20^4 Gaze and etch from any point In time or space (time+space=universe) Basic definition Yet forgive this all For she is not a basic bee She more loyal to her man Why can't all the men return In form and fragrance Or any healthy hallucination Joan Didion kmows Healthy grief processing And TMH knows too If ya need three go ask Plath
