Don’t leave your pillow cold to touch
I need your body beside me when I wake
The sun through the window
Will not warm the empty space you leave
Come evening, when I hear no key in the door
The stars fall from the heavens
The dark nights spent alone
Memories cannot fill that empty space
Shadows fill the room, wearing your face
I wait for yesterday…

Sigh… so sad, so beautiful x
Thank you, Steve…
My pleasure, Anita. Loved it.
“I wait for yesterday”–excellent line. Especially for those of us who wonder about the temporal nature of life!
I liked this line too. Anita does write brilliant poems!
Showdown wear your face – what a beautiful line yet so sad. It brings back a memory of my first love. Thanks for this piece. Have a blessed weekend. Love Joni
Thank you, Joni…
