Interpretive
our bed,
the loneliest place on earth
Undressing I lay down
laying on white sheets
I close my eyes
and remember
everything,
leaving nothing out
I want to sob uncontrollably
but I don't
though I should
I don't
the room is cold
that's nothing new,
I shiver off the last of you
I place my forearms
across my chest
my legs are close together
waiting for you to get home
laying naked,
in my best funeral pose
a thought crosses my mind,
I begin to wonder if you will get
my artistic good-bye?......
this bed is a coffin,
our love
has died
realizing your an idiot,
I get up and get dressed
fuck it maybe next time.

It reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in "Little Big Man" His Indian grandfather lies down on a hill side to die. It starts raining so he gets up and says "Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't" he then resumes normal life!
Great write Nikki and great attitude!

Starts so sad, and relatable, but morphs to (frustration? anger?) something else there at the end. Love the way you can do that, show how one moment/feeling flows into what follows. I like the theatrical side of this too but doubt the pose would be read correctly here either. Good job, Nikki!
