Hollow Bed and Dreams of You

By rage_angel

The empty side
Of my bed
It feels so hollow
It is always so cold
Nothing to hold
Except my pillow
No warmth to grasp
I only have my memories
That leaves me feeling so alone
Frightened and hurt
Nowhere to go
Nothing to show
I toss and turn
I dream and yearn
Of the days I was warm
Of the times I was happy
My heart is empty
And locked away
Put high on the shelf
With no for sale sign or price
I go about my days
But at night I'm cold
Looking for warmth in my lonely bed
Thoughts of you in my head
I dream endless dreams
And sleep sleepless nights
My eyes are closed
My heart is gone
I toss and turn
I dream and yearn
I hug my pillow
And curl into a ball
I let down my wall
In a vulnerable state
But I'm too late
For you are gone
I'm left to a hollow bed
And dreams of you circle in my head
