Empty

(image source: google.com)


I remember the last time I watched you sleep
memorising the curve of your lips,
the softness of your eyelids
the comfort of your embrace
waking up next to you as the sun's rays grew on your cheeks
your smile the first thing i saw in the morning


I reach out to where you once lay
searching for the warmth of your hand
the rise and fall of your chest
the rhythmic thud of your heartbeat
reminding me that this is where I belong

I find nothing but empty icy cold sheets
