Zzz..

Zzzz?

I heard you come to your home
But I shall pretend to sleep
Empty loud pages of an album
No memories to keep.

Beer and the stench of nicotine
Weighs my eyelids shut
Dinner in the dog
You watch without interrupt.

Sick swells in your throat
I feel it in my gut
Stumbling to the floor
We both lay cut.

Activity from the lamp
Shines a warning upon my face
Wrinkled and worn
A human waste.
