Tonight is No Good (1/14/22)

Tonight is no good
Sad
Restless
Out of sorts

I pour my wine
Red elixir
Wander the house
Looking for your ghost

Maybe I should go to bed
Sleep
Wait for you
To visit me in a dream

But the bed’s too big
Lonely
Sheets too cold
Without you in between

They say that time
Will heal
Take away
This all-consuming ache

But our love is too big
To be 
Forgot
My life a colorless fake
