Heartbreak & Loss of Love

The Empty Side of the Bed

For the person who rolls over in the dark and finds nothing. The indent in the pillow is still there. The sheets still smell like them. The body reaches for someone who is gone and the absence is a physical ache that no amount of rearranging the pillows can fix.

DAY 1 — PRESS PLAY

Your arm reaches across the mattress before your mind remembers the space is empty. The fabric on that side is cool to the touch. It holds the shape of a head that is no longer there. This ache lives in your muscles before it reaches your thoughts. It is a physical weight where a body used to be. There is no need to name it anything else right now. Just the cold.

This was Day 1. There are 6 more days.
