i am afraid...of this bed i made
and the power that it draws
from me is relentless

see i repent of this selfless attitude
i possess
becaused i'm blessed

i'm afraid...of this mess that i made
and the unsure ways
for which i seek a lazy haze
and i jump right in with a
constructive yet intimidating gaze
see i repent of this selfless attitude
that i possess
because i'm blessed

i am afraid...of this martyr's hand that i played
of the bed in which this hand was displayed
i need to hide my wares
for all can see my attitude very well
the nervous twitch in my walk
the smell of fear on my breathe
when i talk
i didn't mean to take it this far

i am afraid...of this bed that i made
because it's hard to get him out of there now
i worry
because i know he can smell my fear of being alone
but alone is not what makes me alone
it's the unassuming stance that i take on

i am afraid...of this bed i made
but maybe
just maybe
i need to change the sheets

I find it irresistable to disagree with Cynique, but that could be a symptom of being a sycophantic follower...

oh well...I still agree.

Loved it, especially the end.
