so cold
my room is colder and darker without you. my bed is less soft without you. it creaks -- does not invite me. blankets are useless against the drafty windows. your absence lowers my body temperature. fingers and toes move slowly in the chilly night. my circulation grinds to a halt without you. my dreams are less vivid without you. the morning sun shines dimmer without you. my alarm screams louder without you. jumping out of bed feels empty when we're not jumping out together. my bagel burns without you. my car starts roughly without you. traffic is worse without you. work drags more slowly without you. work drags more slowly without you. work drags more slowly without you. inspiration wanes without you. my room is colder and darker without you.
