One sided

My mornings should be so much easier now,

what used to be a chore is merely half of a memory

 

When that alarm clock sings

and I toss and stretch about,

kicking my feet to the chilly floor,

preparing my eyes to accept the rising sun

now gleaming happily through the blinds

I yawn once, maybe twice

before falling back beneath the covers,

and crying in my pillow

 

Because the mornings are when I am reminded,

I now only have one side of the bed to make

Man I do know this feeling more than I care to recall...if you've ever loved anyone this piece is too close for comfort but I did enjoy the journey - smile. Poetry can make pain easier on the ears.
