Every morning I make my bed I roll off the mattress and immediately get to work Straightening my blankets and folding them back Plumping the spread with throw pillows that were gifted to me and don’t quite go together But the morning after you leave I lay in the bed a little longer Leave it messy and tangled even as I leave the house I come home to a reminder of you being with me for one more night Messy and tangled I get into my unmade bed and remember how warm you made me feel How I didn’t need the layers of blankets for heat and pressure cause You were there with me Messy and tangled Havent we been here before This morning I made my bed The sheets were strewn across my room Requiring a little more effort cause I had neglected them yesterday trying to keep a token of you being with me I left this morning starting a new week with a made bed but I want you to be with me again Messy and tangled

Every morning I make my bed I roll off the mattress and immediately get to work Straightening my blankets and folding them back Plumping the spread with throw pillows that were gifted to me and don’t quite go together But the morning after you leave I lay in the bed a little longer Leave it messy and tangled even as I leave the house I come home to a reminder of you being with me for one more night Messy and tangled I get into my unmade bed and remember how warm you made me feel How I didn’t need the layers of blankets for heat and pressure cause You were there with me Messy and tangled Havent we been here before This morning I made my bed The sheets were strewn across my room Requiring a little more effort cause I had neglected them yesterday trying to keep a token of you being with me I left this morning starting a new week with a made bed but I want you to be with me again Messy and tangled
