At night I feel my heart breaking
As the space between us in bed
Grows further and sickeningly colder,
The truth now exposed and spread.
Tomorrow morning one of us will rise
Before the other knows it is day.
We will both be in the same room
Yet somehow miles away.
And at night we will do it all over,
Starting at the end of the day.
Both of us on either edges of the bed
Wondering why in the world we stay.
