When it’s time to go to bed
he’s waiting there for me
as a faithfulcompanion
I wish I knew
how to break up with him
So many times
I told him to leave
and sometimes
for or a few nights
I thought I won!
until..
Yes… again he is there…
with full power!
Doesn’t he know
he’s not wanted???
I tried to poison him
with milk and honey
A sweet dead (I thought)
for an unwanted guest
but he is immune
for sweet measures…
Drastic weapons are needed…
so I called in the special forces
to find out
they are only
a temporary solution
keeping me as their hostage
during the day…
Now I have two battles going on
instead of one
They fight each other
out of the bed
and I am there
right in the middle…
eyes wide open
fully awake
struggling
with the question
who I choose
for a winner
this night…

Hi, Neeraja! It's been awhile!

A lot of women can't get a man IN their bed ~ and you have trouble getting one OUT! lol

I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek way you went about writing this!

Good luck!
