Tonight she will lay alongside me
She will be filled with pain and regret and sorrow and everything miserable about this world
Because she knows that as she lays alongside me
She will only live a lie
She will never love me
Because she is selfish
That is just his version of the story
Please hear mine before you go
Tonight I will lay alongside him
I will wait for the moment that his eyes close and he drifts off to sleep
Before climbing out from beneath the sheets, quiet as to not wake him
And leave in the night
For his words stung me
They bit me
They bruised me
They beat me
On other days they kissed me
They nipped at me
Nibbled a bit
They pinched me
More days than not, they brought me great pain
But it was all worth it for when they brought me great pleasure
So my selfishness does not force me out of our sheets
It is him
It is you
