Onto The Next Chapter

Didn’t want to want

Didn’t want to like

Didn’t want to love

You’ll sleep on your side and I’ll sleep on mine

And all the things between us will settle down fine

The words during our argument said

Will get hastily swept underneath our bed

We’ll wake up the next day all wrapped in our covers

Pretending we don’t see the bed start to hover

All the sentences unfinished

All the blame thrown between

Are causing our frame to buckle

And the mattress to lose seams

The pillows aren’t fluffy

The blankets have holes

The sheets are all tattered

Which lets in the cold

But

Who will acknowledge the mountain

Who will crack first

Which one of us will swallow the hurt

Who will be bold to ask for peace

I bet we’re both thinking

We’re up

But all things come down

You say that you won’t just wait around

For fate to pause, life to settle down
