the bed you made / wasn't half bad / no, it was you i disliked / cuz / quite frankly / you tossed and turn / as if sleeping over / a red hot stove / as i caught you / struggling against / the will to kill / me or admit / it is, indeed / a sad excuse / of a mattress
but you weren't a complaint box
you begged / anyone who ever / dared to think so / to differ, to reason / with you / and then one / day you made / you peace / with it. / you adjusted.
so even if it means / neither of us catch a wink / of slumber, so be it / you'd shut off and adjust yourself / some more, / fluff the pillowcase / drink something / read under the gloomy lamp / of mine before,
dawn sneaks up on us / and it's time we drag ourselves / to compromise some more ...
