Since you’ve left
My pillows are lonely
They ask me over and over
When you’ll be back
And find my response
In the tears that stain the plush of their fabric

Since you’ve left
My sheets are tundra’s of empty landscape
Searching for traces of your body
Moaning for your touch
They ask me why you’re gone
And find the answer
In my sleepless nights
Tossing and turning in your dreamland

Since you’ve left
My blankets are useless
No point in masking my features
When no one is home to appreciate the sculpture
They question what I did to make you disappear
And find the reasons
As I smother myself beneath their arms
Hiding from what I don’t want to know

Since you’ve left
My bed is cold
Swollen with absence
And strained memories
If a love we once shared
Now forever lost in an ocean of sleep
