I HATE SLEEPING ALONE

I hate sleeping alone

Cos I’m tossing and turning on my side of the bed

Leaving your side alone

So my side is hot and sweaty

Your side is cool and dry

But I still leave it empty

Even though you’re not home

I hate sleeping alone

Cos no matter how hard I wrap the sheets around me

I still feel the cold

So I’m shaking and shivering

Teeth clattering I’m freezing

Its 80 degrees and I’m still cold to the bone

I hate sleeping alone

Cos those sweet dreams I have when you’re here

 Are replaced by nightmares when you’re gone

So my calm peaceful sleep

Replaced by tired fitful sleep

I have to stay awake all night

And it’s all because you’re not home

I hate sleeping alone

Cos I miss that smile on your face that you greet me with every morn

And that smile lets me know the days going to be great

So you know my day is terrible

When that smile is gone

I hate sleeping alone

Cos you know how I like to hug and kiss and nibble on your toes

So my hands are idle and fidgety

My lips are bored and twitchy

I just had to do something

So I sat and wrote this poem
