The other side of the bed

Forsaken by sleep and lying down on bed,

 

Still unable to open my eyes into reality

 

Where you are no longer here with me,

 

And the other side of the bed is empty.

 

 

 

The side which is motionless intact and safe,

 

Still smells of your sweet and unforgettable scent.

 

It constantly reminds me of your absence,

 

By making me realize that you are not coming back.

 

 

The pillow has turned wet because of my tears,

 

And there is no place left for me to rest.

 

Though time has wiped away your material presence,

 

But I’m still unable to sleep on the other side of the bed.

The pillow has turned wet because of my tears,
And there is no place left for me to rest.
Though time has wiped away your material presence,
But I’m still unable to sleep on the other side of the bed.

Loved this piece Bhavya. Each line describes the pain that this guy suffers and is left alone in the journey moaning out his feelings. I liked your teaser- The other side of bed. All the best :) keep writing more.

....but I'm still unable to sleep
On the other side of the bed....
is the so much heaerfelt still lingering in my mind the feelings that make you restless even on the bed where we feel some kind of solace though momentory yet the vacant bed is the deadliest form of acute sorrow for the couples...Your poetry is the overflow of powerful heartfelt and story in verse.... Have nice day!
