What can you do
when I am sleeping next to you
and you lay there in the dark
waiting for a spark?
Nothing new to see
when you turn and look at me
and nothing stirs your soul
just a body you can hold.
You stare into the walls
and your eyes say it all
but mine are closed in dream
I don't know a thing.
I sleep alone these days
while you sleep next to him
upon the blankets a street light falls
as he stares into the walls....
