Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

0 posted 2000-08-03 10:31 PM


home alone again
emptiness...
cold bed
hard to get used to
remembering...
how nice it was
to have him near
gently touching me
he'd wrap me in his arms
i'd let him for just a moment
then i'd push him away
is it him that i'm missing now?
in this darkest hour?
or am i just missing the idea
of someone, anyone
thinking the world of me?
yet i said i didn't want that
in my life
didn't want to be his wife
now lonliness waits up for me
how i wish i'd known it would
feel this way to be free
he let me go
never begged me to stay
new at this
night closes in
it's a game no one wins
no one knows if
it's wrong or right
and we all feel better
in the morning light

I can imagine that nightime is the loneliest time of all. Sad poem, Julie.

doesn't it just suck how you can make it
through the day alright, but then when you look at the empty bed feelings come crashing
in?   as Mark said...2 pillows is good...i personally tend to sleep on the couch alot.

Yes it can be such a lonely time...I think the two pillows might help....don't know.
I do know that this is very well written and I could feel it inside.
