Please Come Home
By Smiles
Still contoured to the shape of you
These empty sheets haunt me
I can't tell if I even sleep anymore
I just stare at the place you should be
Waiting
But you're never there
You're never coming home
These walls have become my tomb
So at least I'm encased in memories
And still I sit here
Waiting
But forever isn't long enough
You're never coming home
Every morning I reach for you
These empty sheets haunt me
It's been so long
But I understand why you left
No one wants to sleep next to a ghost

Back for another taste. This is one of my all time favorites on this site, for cathartic and masochistic reasons. Still such a gem this write.

Hauntingly beautiful with a melancholic splendor. I loved this. It lingers. And the ending, "No one wants to sleep next to a ghost," is almost ambiguous.
You think you know what this piece is about, and then you can flip it to mean so much else.
It wasn't long, but it didn't need to be. You captured everything perfectly.
Thank you for sharing. You're very inspiring.

I love the ending. Also, I relate to the whole thing. Loss is a very hard thing. Love just doesn't seem to end.

I was laying in bed looking at the empty space next to me and the words just started flowing. Thank you for reading I IS ME.

Wonderfully wrought, and all too relatable.

Thank you Adagios. I'm glad you enjoyed, but it kinda sucks that it's relatable.
