Snore

Lying here beside you dear, I turn and watch you sleep, So blessed I am to have you, a love so strong and deep. You always say you love me, but I really love you more, That is till’ I’m startled by the most god-awful snore! The noise is so outrageous, that it vibrates in my head, I’m shaken like a rag doll, like an earthquake hit our bed. I know in any relationship, there’re highs and there’re lows, But what’s that awful whistling sound coming from your nose? I stare at you in utter shock, your mouse is gaping wide, A sound like spaceships exploding is coming from inside. I throw the nearest thing at you, an empty coffee cup, I throw a plate, a lamp, an egg, but you just won’t wake up! You told me that you wouldn’t snore, well I guess you told me fibs, So I sharpen up my elbow and I smash you in the ribs! You groan in pain and I believe, that silence will return, I push your shoulder strongly in the hopes that you will turn. Alas you are still sound asleep, although you fart and cough, With a noise that’s reminiscent of an Airbus taking off! Your snores renew with great force and grew louder than before, So I kicked you off the bed and you crushed onto the floor! I can’t believe it! What the f***? How can you sleep through that? I’m really, really angry now, I want to sleep, you ****! I lean across the bed to where you’re lying on the floor, Oh, you landed on your back I see, and still I hear you snore! I yell your name, there’s no reply, it’s like you’re comatose, So I reach out my hand in the dark and grab you by the nose. You splutter and you’re drooling, still sound asleep, no cares, Oh screw this! So much for some sleep, I’m off to sleep downstairs!
