Cold Space* (2006) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

As I lie on the bed
with a cold space next to me
Thinking what we had said
but remembered
how it used to be

disagreements came and went
made up those same days
lived to our hearts content
that day eventually came
when we had nothing to say

The split was to sudden
no words would bring us back
in an instant you left
to the guy you called 'a friend'

you said you loved me
cause I loved you...
with every heart beat,
I know I screwed up
cause I know you...
don't believe in love (anymore)

Now when I arrive home
you're no longer there
I Still sleep on my side
still, your space remains cold...
I guess I was meant to be alone
