ELOISE'S LAST SOB

In love's brutal aftermath
They sleep in different bedrooms now
Sometimes with different partners
Sometimes at the same time
Sometimes their silence manages to seep in from beneath the connecting door


And therefore suddenly when one night she realizes that it has been so many months
Since she has laughed so hard that her stomach hurt
And he realizes that it has been so many weeks
Since he has woken someone up to read out Eloise's last sob by the little bedside lamp;
Then that's when they actually begin to miss each other....
