Loveless

Bibbeck

There are no stars in the heavens

There's no twinkling in my eyes

I looked in my bedroom mirror

The image doesn't tell any lies.

You looked in my book

Can you read between the lines

Look through my curtains

Tell me does the sun shine?

Making love between the sheets

Eyes wide open you sleep!

Can you find the light

That went out long ago

Can you see the woman

The one who let the light go?

She no longer smiles

She only weeps

Her sobbing can be heard

At night before she sleeps.

  • myself and me

    Relationship is a special kind of business involving two, it has up and downs, all depends how you run it. Nice writing.

    • Bibbeck

      Thanks M&M. A good relationship is very special. Gratefully mine has only a few small bumps. 🙂

    • FredPeyer

      Well written Bibbeck, one does get the feeling of two ex-lovers, now more like strangers 'sleeping with eyes wide open'.

      • Bibbeck

        Good to have your review FredP, thank-you.

      • Kesha

        I really enjoyed this piece quite a bit! It's always sad when a relationship reaches that point and is no longer happy.

        • Bibbeck

          Thank-you Kesha. So pleased that you enjoyed it. Relationships are often a lot of work to keep them happy, so it's a great loss when it goes downhill.
