My pillow replaces you at night,
Till once again you come into sight.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
Be made love to this night.

I shift, I turn, at times in fright,
Hoping soon to see the light.

I feel the warmth amid my chest,
If only I could get some rest.

Then once again I throw myself around,
To the only thing that has kept me sound.

Thank you, ladies. Or thank Sunshine. She convinced me I should post it. Kinda makes you wonder when you think about this love/hate relationship we have with our pillows...till death do us part...right Sunshine?
