I'm so hot
Very terribly hot
Its sweltering
But I refuse to sleep without a cover
Can't sleep without a cover
Unprotected
I feel bare, exposed
It goes to show
The difference a piece of fabric makes
Too much as it is
The weight
Comfortable but light
Wrapped up snug
The only way I slip down into dreams
Otherwise I don't sink without a fight
Roused easy
Tossing and turning
Checking the time
Barely an hour goes by before I'm antsy
Getting up to roam, coming back to my spot
Gotta resituate
Fluff the pillows again
Squirm all around
My thoughts incessantly running onwards
Unable to get comfortable without it
Was that a chill
Or just goosebumps
Missing that warmth
The one that settles all my nerves at once
Gotta get my cover back, or stay awake until the sky returns from black
