Writing Rambles

Cold by L.A. Myles

​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.
