Pallet In The Floor

He came home from work, tired of the burdens of life's labor.
He reached across the bed to find comfort, but she was no longer there.
After so many years, his arms begged to hold, the one good thing his life once had.
Such a large bed for one man, perhaps a twin bed would be better, but where would he put his memories.
He decided to leave the tears that had soaked one side, the memories that filled the other.
And just made a pallet in the floor.
