Waking Up Next to You

this is rough, and might not make complete sense because it just popped into my head and i wrote it in about 5 minutes. anyway, enjoy.





my head hurts from thinking of reasons not to kill you in my sleep
it gets so bad i've resorted to counting sheep
every night the reasons diminish a bit more
until all i'm left with is:
because I love you

sometimes i wish i could wake up alone
to a cold and empty bed
just to see what all the fuss is about

it doesn't seem such a bad thing
after countless mornings waking up to your morning breath
it's enough to wilt the flowers
but not enough to put me out of my misery
unfortunately

i've tried sticking my head in the oven with the breakfasts scones
i've attempted to stick my tooth brush down my throat as far as it goes

it's a shame i haven't drowned in the litres of drool you leave on the pillow
it's too bad i haven't been strangled to death by your limbs wrapped around me

i ask my self
when my eyes open,
another sleepless night gone by,
why it's you i have to wake up to
but every day it's still the same

because i love you
