i awoke this morning
to an empty silence.
no one there but me
and yet i know i'm not alone.
i turned and saw her next to me
sleeping so peacefully.
and yet my heart feels so all alone
loneliness abounds from within me.
my eyes no longer see
the love i once held so dearly.
what has changed or disappeared
or is it just me.
so i am alone -
alone...
