When the morning light comes stealing all the dark peace of my room, and pries my eyelids open with it's brilliant glare... When I wake my brain enough to turn to where your head should be, I see that I am here..... but you're not there... The sheets that used to wrap around our legs, when we made love, are lying cold...not even slightly out of place... That old mirror on the wall where we made faces at each other, shows reflections of a sad and empty space.. I just never thought you'd leave me, I just knew we'd see it through, thought our love would keep us strong, no matter what... That night I understood as you walked out, said you were leaving, then you made that big oak door go slamming shut! I guess I'll just keep hoping that someday that door will open, but I feel deep in my heart it never will... So, I climb back in that empty bed, thinking only of the things you said, and I wish that bird outside would just be still... I used to love the morning, listening to the lovebirds singing, and the leaves all rustling gently in the breeze... We'd have our morning coffee, watch the news, and read the paper..looking out upon our newly planted trees... Now I look at that same table where we sat as dawn was breaking, wondering where our love had gone so very wrong... Then I close the blinds while wishing I could also close my ears... So I'd never have to hear that love bird's song... A month has come and gone since then, and now I'm home from work again, My old routine has kept my mind from thought.. But night is when I can't escape the memories that we tried to make, and all the bitter lessons love has taught... So I shed my clothes and crawl in bed, not turning on the overhead, When suddenly I know I'm not alone... Your head is back where it should be, On the pillow lying next to me, And the smile that lights my face says.... "Welcome Home!" Then somewhere in the darkness... With a voice both clear and strong... We were serenaded by the love bird's song...... ~~ To Live is to Give ~~ |

Ah Sunny, Gracefully written, and a favorite line as below. I used to love the morning, listening to the lovebirds singing, and the leaves all rustling gently in the breeze... I can picture the early morning, lovebird's singing, and the dew gracefully lifting from the meadow. I'm glad that I stopped by. |
