Your Side Of the Bed

My sister wrote this over a horrid break up.. but ya know how even though you know the relationship will never work; ya still love the motherfucker???? welcome to Melissa's story..
These days I'm sleeping on your side of the bed,
No comfort, no sleep, can't turn off my head.
Your breathing your heartbeat resound in my ear,
I pray as I ponder..how we got here.
When I DO get to sleep, dreams become nightmares,
Tortured and pained, my heart it dispairs.
I cannot except that you are not here,
Resting beside me, or feeling you near.
Robbed of the comfort I needed to feel,
Yanked form a world that had ONCE been real.
You DID try to tell me; always spoken in truth,
I just couldn't relent my own plans; uncouthe.
But I stood by my promise of better or worse,
Determined to withsatnd, even love's very worst.
Now, you've reached your limit; I took it too far,
I never wanted anything but all of who you are..
We can never go back, this I know all too well,
My love it was selfish and dragged you through hell.
The world I tried to build on love slowly turns to dust,
I realize in my heart, my love, it's ME you do not trust.
I rest upon your pillow; the scent of you is there,
While I weep alone in our empty room, and at your pictures stare.
So I'm sleeping on your side of the bed these days,
Desperately praying the scent of you stays.
I really love this poem.. hence my need to share it.. hope you all like it.. and please let me know what ya think so I can share it with me sis.. she's a newbie to relating her feelings onto paper or screen!!!

It evoked feelings I've had myself before. And described a situation that I found myself in so accurately.
And nailed the feelings too.
Thank you for posting.
More please.

I felt every word

some of the past that lingers on pillows in my head..my head pillow reminds of reflecting on love in no more..summin like that..haha
