Sunday Morning Lament

Sunday morning was always my favorite time of the week
Lying silently next to you
Listening to you breath as you sleep

Outside the world was slowly coming to life
While here safe in our sanctuary I lay contented beside you
My lover, my best friend, my soul mate, my wife

The whole day  before us to bask in the warmth of our love
These rooms were our country , our Elysium 
We had no need for any heaven above

But since you  left  Sundays are hell
24 empty hours in which to lament my empty life without you
In this cold and empty apartment
