Sleeping alone

i dont quite understand
what just
happened here
walls frowning
at your screams
trying to plug their ears

sheets lying helpless
squashed
under your anger's weight
drenched
in the smell
only foolish pride dissipates

just what do you get
walking away
so far away from me
so many precious moments
of our lives wasted
cant you see

in any case
i know
i'm the one who'd have to b strong
to crawl up beside you
apologize
and get you back on

because you know
i love you deep down
till my bones
and i sure
just as much
hate sleeping alone
