In the Very Same Bed

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

In the very same bed,

I once lost my virginity in

and slept with you in

all those nights at the start

of our relationship.


In the very same bed,

I planned to cheat on you in

and then shouted at you

for forcing me to make

these kinds of decisions.


And said I hated you

and felt my heart

close to exploding

from the excruciating pain.


But in a calm voice

you uttered "We are all broken"

and somehow that filtered

through my blinding rage.


You knew that my tears

and hurtful words

were a reflection of 

the anguish of my heart.
