Your Mediocre Bed

While the covers hug on me

The sun strangles me with the sunshine and light you could never show me

I keep looking in those eyes

The same eyes that keep lying

Those same eyes that only know how to tug at me with your criticism

Same eyes that saw and heard my pain but just like you do all night in bed

You rolled your eyes and ignored

Just like the mattress you wore me out mentally

You were able to cover your emotions like the sheets on the bed

You snored all night long

You took me away from myself

Year after year

You snored all night long

While your pillows whispered how to remain mediocre and stagnant

While your bed gained wisdom you lost your heart, self-respect and desire

Lust dander settled in the sheets

You will need more than laundry detergent to clean out the filth in your comforter

You snored all night long

You took me away from myself

Year after

You snored all night long

Until I woke up and realized you were a nightmare

The sun was not strangling me but trying to force me to wake up and find a mattress that better fit this queen.
