It Is This

... and so i lie here, staring at the ceiling
Not wanting to be with you this evening

At this moment, our compatibility 
is non-existent. Distant to me
i question your loyalty
This bed isn't big enough for three
Your Ego, You and me
Listed in priority

so i lie here, staring at the ceiling
Not wanting to be with you this morning

i wonder if you'll ever love me
In the manner i desire to be
my soul is out to sea. Screaming ...
Come! Take this voyage; sail away with me!
i miss you when we're apart
But together, something ghastly
happens to my heart

so i lie here, staring at the ceiling
Searching for my ideal life
Arms wrapped around my pillow
instead of you every night

so i lie here, staring at the ceiling
Dissatisfied with You in my life
Looking for a way out
Accepting the comfort of finality
in this banal relationship of three

Prompt from: The Daily Spur – Thank you!
