story about a feeling of loneliness.


He Remembers Her

He awakens again and again
finding himself alone
in the deep deep
darkness of loneliness.
Nothing touching him but a sheet,
a pillow, and himself.
He thinks about her and wishes she had
wanted to stay.
He remembers kissing her lips passionately
and smoothing her long wavy hair.
He remembers her being wrapped up in
his arms and her lying her head
upon his shoulder her eyes
salty with tears.
He can still remember the smell of the
sweet perfume that she was wearing
when they came
into the knowledge of each other.
such an intensely pleasurable experience!
But she left him and went up north with
another
taking away the warmth of her body
and her personality.
Now he awakens alone
in a bed of loneliness
and a pool of tears.
