Lover, Adversary

You found my pressure point

And pushed it hard until I dropped

Now I’m falling hard

And I’m falling fast

And bleeding all over the new kitchen floor

On the way down I feel so incredibly small

And realize my bones are tired

And I remember that I can’t sleep next to you

‘cuz you keep thrashing around

Under the covers

And inside my head

And that you were once my lover

But now you’re my adversary

And that the space between love and hate

Has shrunk so thin that I can’t make it out

Without a magnifying glass

But tonight I’ll still sleep in your bed
