When I make my bed

I knew you had a problem when I used to go back to make the bed and the sheets were still damp with sweat and the pillow I had covered with a towel had big stains of spit and blood.

But still you would not want to talk about it.

So I took the habit of uncovering the bed, folding back the sheets and covers over the foot of the bed, and changing the towel over the pillow every day. The bed would take the whole day to dry off.

But still you would not want to talk about it.

These days, when I go back in the bedroom to make the bed, I am reminded of those awful days when I felt something was terribly wrong, but still you would not want to talk about it.
