Endless
She opened her eyes and
gazed at the darkness.
Tonight was never different from the
other nights.
The creaking of the bed and
his heavy footsteps on the carpeted
floor;
Moving away.
She has memorized
every drop of water from the faucet
in the bathroom
where he is at.
She can imagine how he scrub
his body with her soap; from
his neck to
to the tiniest hairs of
his chest
down There where she used to plant
her caresses --- Endless.
She wanted to believe that
these nights will also be
endless, like her dreams she
longed to do;
endless, like how she plans
to keep him in her heart;
endless like the barking of
dogs from her yard
endless like the
uncountable stars she sees outside; End-
less . . .
resembling the tears warming her
cheeks.
She laid her back on the bed and faced the ceiling.
The glow of the night lamp
fades its brightness.
Seemingly mocking her forthcoming
solitariness.
She never thought that it would be
like this.
The bathroom door clicked open.
She smelled the soap and toothpaste
as
he headed straight to the door.
She felt the emptiness of the
bedspread
beside her.
This night was never different from
the other nights.
