I Can't Sleep

I can’t sleep and I’m pretty sure it’s your fault

As we go to bed you hog all the covers saying you’re cold

As you snuggle up behind me you come in so close you almost push me over the side

Finally you roll over and I get some more room

But then you move again, in to the middle of the bed, and I’m back to no room at all

You sleep sideways with your feet buried under my legs

You say you’re cold

When we wake up you have pushed all the blankets on top of me and I’m sweaty

I thought you said you were cold

Each night is the same with no break in routine



But tonight you aren’t here next to me and I have the bed all to myself

And as hard as I try I can’t sleep.
