The Couch

The couch
I lay here on the couch
Springs pierce my spine
My neck bent
An unnatural angle

My cold feet try to find warmth
In the crevices 
There are only crumbs and coins
Coins and crumbs
Starchy fabric rubs the skin
It creaks when I move

How come you get the bed?
You are my princess
That's what you told me.

How come? 
Soft but firm
Cozy but not too hot
It engulfs you
Twin size
That's all we have
But enough for one

We never take turns.

The couch is my bed
It comforts me now
I know its structure
My foe at first
Now a comforting friend
I still yearn for a bed

You said we would take turns
Every night I tell you I'm going to bed
Blankets
Pillows
Wrap your body
You say goodnight
I know you know
And I come to the couch
I sit and I think
I go to bed

Repeat
Repeat
Repeat

Bummer In Summer

I am floating
Floating on a path towards destruction
Brimming on insanity
I walk the line
 
Water drops caress my cheeks 
On a dry summer's day
I feel them carve their way down through the skin 
Gravity plops them onto the grimy floor
 
The flowers are blooming now
And some days I bloom too
But many days I carry the burdens of all
I weep in sorrow
I feel their pain
More than they do it seems
 
Although I torture myself
The reigns are not let loose on me 
I meet judgment and anger at the door
A welcome mat with my name on it
 
I cannot win
Ever
My kindness is only returned by few
And those I love are not always the ones returning it
My heart breaks
 
And I’m still floating 
Floating
