Pillow Talk

This pillow isn't you.

It doesn't hug back
Not when I want it to
It just sits there, uncaring

It doesn't leave me be
Not when I want it to
It turns hard making its presence known

When we first meet it's cold and hard
I have to bury it in my own warmth
For it to bend to me and let me in

Then after that it turns too hot
With passion or rage I don't know
But it is ruined by my warmth

So I flip it over, again and again
Giving it a third and fourth chance
To just lay with me, mildly

But you're right all through the night
Whether I flip you around or just let you lay under me
So when you're not here to share this bed I'm reminded

This pillow isn't you.
