Soul Mate

I sit in the dark
The seconds tick by
I wait in my bed
Longing to die

Sleep does not come
No solace for me
My eyes rest wide open
But there's nothing to see

No moon through my curtains
A bulb in my light
Just silence and darkness
To hold me tonight

I smell the thick air
I taste his cologne
Still staining this bed
Still tainting this home

My soul ripped in half
And breath after breath
It waits to join
Its mate in death
