I huddle under a fuzzy blanket < !signature-->listening for the rumble of your truck the TV drones on unwatched as my eyes stray again to the clock dinner is a perfect room temperature and my plate sits untouched on the kitchen counter I hate eating alone Another solitary night I’m sure your reasons are good at least to you and I wonder when we changed when we became room temperature sitting on opposite ends of the couch talking when needed alone…. together Your kisses are obligatory my face a perfect mask hiding from the shadows your eyes cast our lovemaking polite a room temperature routine cuddling no longer needed we move to our sides of the bed and sleep alone…together and alone….I miss you I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe...

a sad one ..thats what happens when two people become comfortable with each other.. so comfortable they forget one another is there.. ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

Like a picture from my past I know how you feel. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |

I know this well...two well...and that's not a typo...just so you know... I think I'm going to like reading more of you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

it's all because they sold their '57 Chevy, it makes all the difference. No, seriously, this broke my heart.....because it's so true...... "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you." Winnie the Pooh |

How sad and lonely you have written yourself into this beautiful but melancoholy poem. I love the title because of the way you develop it....and it's true when a love has gone luke warm then there are some serious problems that have to be resolved...take care ethome |

Sunshine...I am flattered.. and thank you...serenity...and hugs to you...thank you...it IS maddening... Marge...seeing your name always brings a smile to my face...*hug* Irish Rose...at little humor is always good... BTW..I love your signature... ethome...It is especially hard when it is only onesided...  I would give anything to be back on his side of the bed... Thank you... I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |

Talk about a lukewarm relationship...maybe you should move but if you truly love him, love him till he sees that he's the only man that you'll need! Wonderful write and take care! Nathan |

Breathe- you write of something quite common among relationships today...it makes me wonder if there is such a thing as love anymore, if there ever was. We just grow tired and bored of one another I suppose. This was a good piece you've written... |

Nate ...It didn't start out luke warm...and I guess I'm holding on to that...I guess that may make me weak...but I do love him...and I hope he does realize that... Thank you for your words... Thank YOU Coco...and I hope the tugs on your heart from here on out...are the gentle tugs of love... passing shadows...I would hate to believe that is true...I still want to believe in love...call me old fashioned or maybe a die hard romantic... Maybe we all could try a little harder...I don't know...but thank you... I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |
