A Wet Pillow, Some Cold Sheets

From "Sleepless Nights - Dreaming Of You" my 2nd book.

-x-


You sleep with me every night-
Well every night that I can sleep.
Which isn’t much.



Sleepless nights-
Dreaming about you.



You know everything,
You know, every little blunder,

And dirty tale of those sheets.



You know every tear.
You watch me cry.


You divide yourself into two.

I only have half,
The other side is cold.
Like a heart,
Bitter and lifeless.




But you are just wood,
Wood and metal.
No company at all.
In fact you make me sadder.
Remind me of how alone I am.


I wish we both had him back on the left side.
A territory uncrossed.

Till then I will sleep on my side.




You are just my bed.
Cold and lifeless.
