Neglected
Oh, sleep, your mistress, I see she’s won,
While I sit here, the NEGLECTED one.
Drooling on pillows, what a display—
Is this your idea of foreplay?
You pick your bed, so soft, so still,
While I bring fire, excitement, and thrill.
But no, you snore like a lumbering beast,
Ignoring the fact I’m the real feast.
Dream on, genius, enjoy your rest,
Because clearly, effort’s not your best.
I could’ve been laughing, dazzling, divine,
But no—your loyalty dies with bedtime.
Next time I call, and you choose to sleep,
I’ll leave you snoring, six feet deep.
(Okay, not really, but you get the gist—
You’re missing the best when I’m on the list.)
