Separate Lives
That Phil Collins 80's ballad,
Playing over in my head
Clamoring with thoughts of you and her,
And the sharing of your bed
Damn that thoughtful gift I'd sent,
Intent to helping you sleep better
But now, oh how alluring
The scent enticing her to enter
Your claim that "we have separate lives"
Permits your feelings true, to hinder
So, did you wash the bed sheets clean
Or does the lavender field still linger?
