I woke up this morning
curled up between my pillows
reaching across the sheets
instantly knowing you are
n o t
t h e r e
I stayed up a little longer
listened to the birds
and how sadly they chirp
for your absence
so I hid my face
on the flat sheet of tears
I shed every night
probing the every fabric
for your scent
