The vertigo invades my brain
And as I lay awake
The self diagnosis makes me question
My intentions
If only he’d be able to hear me
Without me saying a word
You’re lazy, you’re lazy
Restless silence
Bubbling water
Inconsistent ticking
I fall asleep
And yet
I must talk myself into sleeping
Convince myself that
My pillow loves me
Just as a lover would
