Empty Space

There's this empty space

beside me in bed

where you should be

resting your head.

Everything in the world

reminds me of you

when I was my hair

with your same shampoo -

when I'm folding laundry

and I feel you there -

with your arms wrapped around me,

knowing you care.

There's this empty space

beside me in bed

and I expect you with me

but am alone instead.
