She approaches the vacant bed
With caution
And reflects
On all of the late nights
The requests
For him to crawl in next to her
And wrap his arms around her
A warmth that only he could provide
He did this to himself
She thinks
As she climbs inside
Pulls the freshly laundered sheets up to her neck
Where they lie
With a cold but comforting touch
I’m here for you
As she creates her linen cocoon
And drifts to sleep
Without him.
This poem is making me tear up a little. Great job.
me too!
oh!
This is a very beautifully written poem!
Amazing work.
Such a heartfelt piece, profoundly beautiful
Good stuff, brah.
Like it very much.
Better off without him – but can she accept that?
Great poem, the title is perfect! Glad I stumbled across this.

Tamara I…..The short, yet “punchy” delivery, the rhyme, meter, time, and entire poem; “drew me in,” just as any great writing will do. Have you ever thought about using your skills to write Sales copy? I believe that it would not take much coaching in sales writing to transform your natural ability to “grab and hold” eyeballs; and parlay them into some killer copy writing works.
Did you know “Story-Based Sales Copy” Outsells ALL OTHER methods of sales writing by a margin of 10 to 1? I would like for you to read my “From the Jaws of Death” Sales Page. It is selling very well and it would let you know and understand just how easy it would be for you to make $300.00 to $600.00 a Page. I kid you not, you have serious “chops” in your writing skills.
Very Best Regards,

It’s like a nice little goodbye to that emotionally unavailable guy. I know how that feels! The bed’s roomier and possibly more comfortable with just one person in it anyway
