How we sleep


Our conversations resemble the way we sleep

You take up more room

And expect me to be happy

Inhabiting an ever shrinking space

But near the edge, I panic

Self-preservation instinct kicks in

Tells me to claw back relevance

And I push you back

Its no more a conversation

But an argument

I deploy all ammo

I fight dirty

I push too hard

We both fall off, then

Sleepless.
