I reached out to touch her And nothing was there Her soft warmth Was missing Even the ghost That she left in the bed When she slipped away Late in the night Was gone That wraith of heat And scent that lingered On in the sheets Was missing That spot that I could feel And know That she had just been there There was nothing now But the cold My hand touched Nothing Someday I realized That this would be forever That there would be more Cold Than I could bear Last night meant Nothing It was only Anger blowing like the wind Disturbing the night Throwing leaves and debris In the darkness I rushed home to find her Soft and warm Nestled in our bed And put her skin Beneath my kiss And held her warmth And softness In my arms My hands feeling her Caressing her Beneath the sheets Last night meant Nothing Nothing at all
