Tonight, I went to bed but I wasn’t alone
I made space for the silence
Words you said, but forgot quietly watched over me
Tonight, I went to bed but I wasn’t alone
And while the moon shivered, I kept thinking, “Remember when you said you’ll never leave me?”
Tonight you went to bed, but you weren’t alone
You made space for my hurt.
Words I said, promises I kept, quietly watched over you
Tonight we went to bed, but we weren’t alone.
I made space for the silence
Words you said, but forgot quietly watched over me
Tonight, I went to bed but I wasn’t alone
And while the moon shivered, I kept thinking, “Remember when you said you’ll never leave me?”
Tonight you went to bed, but you weren’t alone
You made space for my hurt.
Words I said, promises I kept, quietly watched over you
Tonight we went to bed, but we weren’t alone.
This poem is about that feeling of going to bed alone when you want is to be close to that one person who is pulling away. I hope you like it and leave a comment for feedback.❤️❤️
