Laying beside, naked in bed:
We play to win, level off dead.
—
(Words travel slowly through one’s head.)

Like flowers bloom, all chasing well;
growing in the middle of hell.
Laying beside, naked in bed.

the more i see, the less i feel
—
Come your way,  drag along, lay your say.
(Words travel slowly through one's head.)

“Shower me with kindness,” she said,
while i whisper doubts into your ear:
Laying beside, naked in bed.

Like viper in a velvet veil,
no more goodbyes, striking its tail.
(Words travel slowly through one’s head.)

Tasting his prey: sour and wet.
“You’re the trouble I’m in,” she said.
Laying beside, naked in bed.
(Words travel slowly through one’s head.)
