Entry 8- Frozen Pillow

Tonight,
as I entered my bed
I was unable to find
warmth.

Snowy white sheets
and a frozen pillow,
permeated by an autumn chill
were all I could find.

And my body shivered

During summers
sweltering nights,
aroused by heat,
I would stretch and
reach for the
cool comfort
found on your
empty side of the bed.

Now all I find there
is nothing.
No comfort
No warmth
No one

So I lay on my side
wrapped in my own cocoon
facing your empty space
and yearn for someone
to warm the void.
