What it's like to sleep in a bed alone:

by lu - Leo

Princesses sleep in big beds, right?
right right
We find this princess --
we'll call her Princess X --
alone in a bed for Two.
not just a normal two, either -
a Two of lover and loved and love
She must be proud to have such a pretty bed.
what good does it do her?
She wastes it with cold legs and unheld back and lifeless hands.
We could sleep in her bed, if she'd sign it over.
We should take it over.
it can be a peaceful sort of coup -
we'll plead our case -
i'm sure she'll understand
X is too young and silly to sleep with a love 
and such a bed deserves love
we are perfect for it
you can do your three jobs there.
(you always do so well, even so...)
It's still pretty
(I'm still the same for my newness
and my oneness with you) 
even with no pricesses (or maybe Two).

Reason for writing:

    a weekend away
