Tripping over you, as I fall into bed
Experiencing further disappointment, because I’ve been misled
Tossing and turning, as I turn away from you
Rolling over to face the issues that surround me, asking what do I do?
Going through the motions, yet emotionless
Thinking of abandoning this situation, unwilling to confess
Trying not to be here, has gotten me nowhere
Feeling….. if either of us left, neither would even care
Blanketed between external lust and internal satisfaction
Injecting suggestions of seductive thoughts, still there's no reaction
My eyes I can close, but from this state I can’t escape
Night after night, replaying the same worn out tape
The Comforter brings no comfort and the sheets don’t seem to fit
The headboard is idle and silent, so frustrated here I sit
While the mattress is brand new, all of its bounce is gone
How can it be, I feel all by myself, when I’m not alone
Wheezing, snorting and snuffling fill the atmosphere
Drowning out the sound of hope and I see no ending near
The pillows are fluffed each day, absent of nightly pillow talk
A relationship long muted, is now outlined in chalk
A bed full of emptiness, filled with a body that is cold
I fall out bed, reaching for security, but there’s nothing here to hold
Tumbling to the floor, provides no relief
The rug cushioned my fall, but I’m carpeted with disbelief
Another restless night, has become my repeating theme
Tonight I lay awake…. but a better night shall come….. will be tomorrow’s day dream
