My Empty Bed

I awoke

at 3 am this morning.

For a moment,

I thought that

you were only in the bathroom.

But you weren't

here at all.

You were in another place,

another bed

far away from mine.

For a moment

I still thought

you may walk in

and turn on the fan

devilishly asking

if I were cold yet.

But you were

sleeping elsewhere

last night,

this morning,

the night before

and probably tonight

as well.

I'll just have to

learn to

live with that.
