Sleeping in your bed, next to you For the first time Is far more intimate than I'd like to admit But the bobby pins on your window sill Remind me that you are not mine I am nothing more than a warm body To slide into when you get bored constantly reminding myself I am Good enough, that your indifference Is reason enough to walk away But I don't walk away, I follow The familiar path to your front door And in a tangle of legs and sheets I come undone
