As I lay here beside you

In the bed that we share

Tears stream onto my pillow

A silence fills the air

Do I dare look at you?

And ask where you’ve been

Or do I torment myself

As I do again and again

My heart beats hard in my chest

As I feel you turn your back to me

My mind starts to wander

My secure-ness flee

I detect a hint of perfume

Emanating from your body

My heart starts to twitch

Knowing it did not come from me

I lay awake all the night

Because my sleep won’t come

Not a kiss, not a hug

What have we become?

The morning sun peeps through the window

I watch you arise and walk away slow

Not good morning kisses or a hug

And I am wondering, where did the man I love go
