romance

Like familiar surroundings you find yourself gazing at the bed looking at the empty space where love once laid, you sigh to yourself quietly, caressing his clothes gently as you fold up one his work shirts up, you pull it in close to you and remember how you use to feel watching him get dress taking pride in his job to protect and serve, familiar surroundings as you walk through the house that use to be you all home, quiet, still you can feel the diappointment in the air...As he finally comes to a place where you once greeted him with open arms, hugs and kisses now everything seems so rehersed, speaking like it kills you to be even the same room, familiar territory, lying next to someone without even a brush of the shoulder, cold though under the covers where it once shared passionate love, movements, gestures, engulfed of wanting to be one, yet so afraid of being rejected so you lie there in darkness in silence reminising of past events just to ease the pain of a familiar stanger in a house that once remained a home, tainted by outsiders, where judgement is so quickly passed but forgiven is slowly earned, familiar surroundings of Love once given without notice, now held like life was depending on it so scared to let go yet willing leave, familiar feelings with someone you dont know any longer.....Mmmmm Familiars
