sleeping with him
is too bothersome.
i would rather sleep
in my own bed
with his shirt
smelling of him.

in his bed i
analyze every shift
of his body while he sleeps;
every time he turns away from me
i take it personally

in my bed
with his shirt
i have enough room
to roll over when necessary
and keep only the things about him
that i like
