Stranger in Bed

Title may sound like the poem is erotic, it's not haha.

Stranger in Bed

 

You could have had me

You’re so busy

Or you say you are

And that’s the reason

You’ll never try to pursue me

 

You’re going to lose me

And all you will be left with

Are your little activities

And you’ll never find someone

You’ll truly want to be with

Someone who you can come to

Someone you can lean on

 

So rely on work and school and friends

But at night, when you come home

You’ll come home to a cold house

And a girl you’ll never love

A girl who will never treat you right

Waiting for you in bed

 

Enjoy this life

And start regretting the mistakes

You’re making today

Because you can’t change the path

We’re clearly taking

The path that’s leading into tomorrow

And you can’t say one word

To make it better

I don’t buy sweet talk anymore

I don’t buy broken promises

And I don’t buy your lies

 

You can try to make me see what you want me to

But I just see the truth

And I’m done trying to make reality so bright

And I’m done trying to make our future so right

It is tearing our friendship apart

And we’re losing grasp of one another

 

But I’m so done with waiting

For you to open your eyes

And realise that your future happiness

Is smack in front of your face

And not in your work place, in your school work, or in your friends arms

You have to work for me, work at us, and then you’ll be embraced

 

Until then

Enjoy your empty bed

And enjoy your hand being your girlfriend

Because when the future comes

I’ll be gone

And you’ll have a stranger in your bed

A stranger you will never feel for

The way you did me

Author's Note

So I noticed I haven't written anything in maybe a week, or less. Not sure. But a friend made it seem like I haven't posted something new in forever. So here is a new poem. I'm sure many can relate to it.

Enjoy!

ain't that the truth.

Oh my goodness!! lol I LOVE all your comments on Avy's page, but even though I have enjoyed a few of your poems thus far.... THIS one was sharp, honest, nasty, awesome, raw, and gorgeous. You are quick with that digital tongue and write it so well for me to be this engaged and with that "lesson" at the end. ....wow!! This dude must have deserved it, even if it is an imaginary one. That is a very angry and cold "p***y" to come home to. Very nice.... xoxo -Mark

Well thought out, makes one wonder about the decisions he/she is making at every moment when with the counterpart.

Nice ending and I think this is erotic and also sad. This makes perfect sense in terms of relationships that are not quite matched

Because when the future comes
I’ll be gone

I like these lines very much because it reminds me of a song from Moonpools and Caterpillars: Soon

I find this cute and very girly:)

I had something similar to this happen to me, so you're right about it being relatable. Good write :)

[Sacha Davison]

And enjoy your hand being your girlfriend

That line put a smirk on my face. The actually content of the writing was fairly easy for most to relate to. It was written quite well and reads quite smoothly. Great job!

[Destinyxi]

Haha, thank you!

[Hester Vane]

I love this. Strong, powerful words with great flow! I can kind of relate to this, as I fear I may be saying these kind of things in a few months time! But if it has to be said then I will come out the stronger person! Anyway, amazing as always! I love your poetry, but you know that! :-)

[Destinyxi]

If anything, use this poem to boost up your strength :)

Thanks for your review!

[LuthienThalia]

I was in this exact place a year ago. This is very nicely stated.

[Destinyxi]
