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 |

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 |
