I Don't Sleep In My Bed

Anthony Hanible

Night by night 

On the couch 

Is where I lay my head 

Night by night 

My side stays empty 

Night by night 

Month by month 

It's about to be a year

From the last time 

I don't know 

Unfortunately 

Uncomfortable 

My body won't let me lay down for to long 

Unfortunately 

Uncomfortable 

This couch feels 

Unfortunately 

Uncomfortable 

My sleeping situation 

Is killing me

I wish I could go to sleep in my bed

    We grow accustomed to certain things even in their discomfort and then again there are times that others angry at us force us from a place of comfort to much less comfortable place. Metaphor or literal a good write all the same
