Bed Built For Two
Here I lay
at 12:10
on this bed
built for two
that tries
to sleep one,
but sleep is hard to find
as we love each other
from a distance.
It’s hard for this man
who fell in love
with you
when still a boy
to close his eyes
and not see
your face,
to listen in the quiet
and not want to hear
your heart beating with his,
to touch the sheets
and not need to feel
your body between his hands.
All this and much more
do I miss
when you’re not here,
and I lay
on this bed
built for two
that tries
to sleep one,
but can’t
and won’t
without you.
