Pillow Talk
Pillow talk
If my bed could speak
It would be the voice of many
The days of me feeling empty
Watching me grow from a child
To a man
Where I overthought to gthe point I’d heat up and turn on the fan
The cool air presses against my mattress along with making those thoughts vanish
The pillows hold my deepest screams
Along with my bigger dreams
My bed would say I’m it’s number 1 companion
When I’m depressed it’s the only thing I’m ever around
Escaping the sounds
The first place I practice showing emotion
Why practice ? Because if my masculinity seems weak
It could cause a commotion
My bed was there when I got a whooping
Tears snot and all
My bed seen me on drunkie k days protecting me from falls
My bed was there for all my phone calls
Seen me feeling like I was above all
My bed will tell you how I handle deaths, heart breaks ,the bully’s
And physical pain
It was all the same tear one napkin
Then I’ll wake up like I was okay
But that was for pretend but
Maybe the thoughts adjusted before it could end
If it could talk it would tell you how nowadays I abandon it
To stay up all hours
Lost in my own thoughts often sour
Only to visit my bed for temporary visit
It could sense my limit
Me calling myself a dimwit
If my bed could talk it would probably
Wish for the young happy Kyle
Not the one hanging by a thread
The one that smiled as he got on his bed and spread
Not the dull older Kyle instead
The memory’s imprinted on my bed
Is stained in my beds thoughts like dry blood
The type of a pain that would make a crips eyes flood
But as the host for my body to rest
It can’t say I’m not a eventful
vessel
It may be stressful
But the outcome of seeing me reach my max potential
That little boy Kyle will be happy for adult Kyle
And that’s essential
