You're on the bed

In your room

And it's hot because the power's out due to the storm two nights ago


And the bed is not much of a bed

Merely a mattress on the floor

Because you could no longer stand the sight of the old

So you stripped it bare to start anew


The painted white walls

Hardwood floors

And your restless heart all agree

That these hands are not your own


Now you're laying on your bed

In your room

Alone
