Darkness Seeps Sleep eludes me tonight. This bed meant for two, now sleeps only one. Sunken warm and ruffled, the part on the side where I lay; cold and smooth on yours. Darkness seeps as I close my eyes. I hear my thoughts and it screams! My name as it leaves your lips. Your breath hot on my neck. Your touch hungry on my skin. May hand reaches out to find that familiar form but there’s really nothing there. Just the air of emptiness, fading memories, and the cold unruffled sheets.

After the dissolution of a 33 year marriage and sleeping snuggled up to someone almost every night, my own adjustment to that cold spot on the other side of the bed took me a long, long time to adapt to. There was a time I would have considered the prospect dark and frightening, but in the end it was mostly painful and depressing, before I learned that in that darkness lay a new--and in many ways superior--future. Your words touched a deep chord inside, soul dear. Thank you - dg

Oh my , Dusty! I have not seen you in a long time and have missed your work. It is really sad to not feel that familiar warmth beside but it is also good to have the whole bed to yourself don’t you think? no more trying to sleep with loud snoring and pulling of blankets.. lol thanks for dropping by my friend.

What a lovely poem. Sad though! broken heart... it's almost like a definition of "my whole world just collapse" @dusty-grein I am sorry to hear about your story. Wishing you all a very happy cuddly future
