Monster

Reaching toward you with silhouette hands
I cannot touch you, I know that
Feigning my sense of direction
Outpaced by my reflections
Aphasia strikes in waves
Setting my wits ablaze
Fatal thought blockades
Wronging the right of way

Heartache bound in accidie
Hell framed in silver lining
Becoming more attuned
To a life without you
Our bed harbors memories
I awoke on the couch this morning
Trying things I haven't before
Maybe tonight I'll sleep on the floor

There's a monster
There's a monster
There's a monster in our bed

There's a monster
There's a monster
There's a monster in our bed

Wilting leaves on lovers' trees
Spoil fruit felled by the heart
Figures of speech reveal meaning
When thought upon in the dark
Buoyant wounds peacefully sink
Togetherness regained in a deep sleep
Take my breath. Use it to breathe
I'm in love with you, not me

You left your shirt in the closet
I don't mind, it smells of you
You think of me as a stranger
I don't share your point of view
Youthly convictions disappeared
Along with a number of years
Washed away in the haze

There's a monster
There's a monster
There's a monster in our bed

There's a monster
There's a monster
There's a monster in our bed

There's a monster
There's a monster
There's a monster in our bed

There's a monster
There's a monster
There's a monster in our bed
