Alarm Clock

An alarm goes off
Two feet hit the floor
Rub the empty spot in the bed
Soon to be filled with a warm body for eternity
Always side by side
Fill a cup to start the day
Mine says "Mr."
Look at the one that say "Mrs."
Soon to be filled for you
Two spoonfuls of sugar
Rub the stubble growing
Wash the past off
Clean hands and feet for the future
Picture your hand in mine for eternity
Unzip my birthday suit
All pressed and ready for photos
High fives and shots
Trying to put the butterfly's to sleep
Wash the sweat from my palms
Clean hands for the future
Constricted in my birthday suit
Unprepared for what my eyes see
The future is in my hands
Words spoken that never had the breath behind them before
Eternity is near
My rebirth complete
Reborn as two
High fives and shots
Trying to put these butterfly's to sleep
Float across the room with my future in my hands
Stepping on my two right feet
Carefully remove my birthday suit
Throw back the covers
Feel eternity pressed against me
Filling the empty spot in my bed
Sleep like a stone the first night of the rest of my life
An alarm clock goes off
Two feet hit the floor
Rub the empty spot in my bed
Never to be filled with your body for eternity
I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked
