My Bed

I have spent the last few days in bed due to a broken heart.  Multiple people have come to see me and they have jumped right in with me. And it hasn’t been in a sexual way, but there is just something very comforting about lying side by side with a loved one. We cried, laughed, and slept.  We watched lots of movies, talked a lot of silliness; there was also a lot of silence. But I have felt very safe and loved over this trying time. I will never really understand death itself and I am angry with whatever controls the universe for taking my friend from me. She was too young and wonderful. I can’t imagine life without her.
