Living this life together,
Sharing this bed of marriage, No matter what our problems Here is where we always come together. And once, after a beautiful day of joy, I curled up beside you, Snuggling into your warmth as always. I closed my eyes and dreamt of you, Lying beside me, peaceful and calm, Our heat intermingling And keeping each other warm. I woke smiling, at rest in myself. I touched your shoulder; It did not add heat to my own. I rolled you onto your back so easily And looked into your open, staring eyes with fear; They were empty. You were gone. My eyes filled with my pain, Overflowing into the growing cold of your absence. When all was finished And I was again in our marriage bed, Alone and cold without you to warm me, You were there; Lying beside me, peaceful and calm, Our heat intermingling And keeping each other warm. It is only when I wake That I realize, I am cold.
