Rotting in My Bed

V5.5

every little trickle every little drop every time you ride me to the edge then suddenly stop
 every time i say i love you 
then wait for a thousand years to hear, you maybe mumble something
 that’s close enough to fool my ears that I can declare this evening 
 a roaring success Confident there was a reason I even woke up and got myself dressed. the girls at school they swooned over a knight adorned in white so love drunk on the fairy tale they could never see it right 
the reason that the gallant 
 wear colors oh so bright is to blind the naive maidens 
with their overwhelming light
 so we believe they saved our lives
 while scores of pawns that made heroics possible
 scamper out of sight. I could try 
to find
 something better… I could change myself 
to suit some idea of the future 
I could lose 10 pounds, 
I could eat less junk 
I could force myself into a trad wife
 husk but instead I’m rotting in my bed and I think I’ll stay there the rest of the night. certain, there is no reason for my dreams to take flight.
