In your empty bed
regret occupies
the cold spot on the sheets
my body once warmed.
I stayed awake
night
and then night
again watching
the orangey glow of the streetlight
pour in the window, spill
across your face,
stretching eyelash shadows across your cheeks,
hot tears down mine.
With clenched fists I waited
knowing my white knuckles
couldn't force you to hold on.
Now in your empty bed
does my regret choke you?
