Gone


I lay on my bed,
cradling a pillow in my arms.
I wanted to believe it was you.

Sleepily my hands explore the bed,
searching for the warmth of your skin.
I wanted to believe you were there.

Awakened by my stark reality,
I remember that your side is empty.
I wanted to believe you loved me.

Emptiness engulfs my soul,
I sink slowly back on the empty bed.
Now I believe you're gone.

It's raining again.
