honey

i.

Stay up all night to avoid the fright
Of sweating through the pillow,
The comforter, the mattress,
The bed


ii.

Weak coffee, dirty blue jeans
Almost black

Coffee at 2:00 or three
In the morning

Cause you can’t
Sleep

Due to too many
Feelings, regrets,
Memories

On your mind

Like bad dreams, twisted
In dirty sheets

With weak coffee, sit-ups, push-ups,
At 4:00 in the morning

Cause you’re too busy
Mourning

To sleep

With me
For money

Make me
Feel cheap

I don’t want to be worth anything

If I can’t be worthy

Of your love

Honey

Is sticky and now I’m a mess
(It was just sex I must confess)
