His existence lies somewhere between the gods I could never believe in and theΒ cold side of the bed A misshapen figure remains dipped where he once laid An ode to love An ode forgotten from when we talked last My heart no longer yearns for his love My body no longer yearns for his touch But on lonely nights like these When 5 am calls with the birds echoing and exhaustion bombards my being Like a hollowed out skeleton Bones ever quaking I roll to the cold side of the bed and yearn for his warmth
