Bed Sheets
Wasn't I quiet enough for you?
Did I keep your secret tucked far enough under the sheets,
Where even now,
You can't admit I have laid.
Because if you did,
You'd have to admit the never leaving,
Because it never left.
Longing always lingers in the silence between.
You've hidden me in the folds of the blanket.
Always searching through memories,
Just for a moment of what once was.
I can't return your calls.
My absence now echos through us both.
The indent of my body growing stale,
Like fading perfume on the pillow.
I know it in the way you once kissed me.
Yet now,
You only whisper my name to the bed sheets.
