In Our Bed

Another cold night
Alone in our bed
Its the long lonely nights
I've come to dread

It hasn't been that long
Since you were here
In my loving arms
Warming our bed

But God said it was time to go
Why you and not me
I'll never know
Only shadows in our bed

Your essence haunts our room
I reach for you 
But you're not there
In your place on our bed

I look for the day
When I leave our room
And come to join you
In our bed

So poignant, Timothy. Very powerful, the love, pain and longing are tangible. A divinely potent write ~ a FAVE for me.

Sweet. Painfully sweet, Timothy. You must have had a wonderful, loving marital relationship... Patience, my friend. You two will be reunited! Best always, Gershon

Loneliness is hard to bear until you are one day reunited Tom
