So We Decided To Sleep

One day in the deep stark forest of my mind
I lay awake in bed and dreamt
Of shadows that passed over head
Of memories that long ago had nothing to do with me

It seemed to last a while before
He walked through the room
Not looking my way even once
The water flushed and then he lay beside me

He turned around
His back to me
Then my mind started to wander
How much does any of this matter

We only live by pure coincidence
We float in open space
Not much keeps us safe from things that choose to crash our way
Sometimes I try to tell him
He can't say much to this
He only shakes his head and says
"What do you want from me?"
