Beside the Bed by Peter J Benson Wednesday, May 20, 2009 Rated "PG13" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan It's not always about the person in the bed. The person beside the bed needs support also.
Beside the Bed. Will you please just breathe you bastard! We've got cats to feed and pamper. There's cities you haven't shown me yet And countries you promised me I'd see. There's weddings and the occassional funeral. Nieces to take to Disney And nephews to put through college. It wouldn't hurt if you picked up your clothes Once in a while. I'll do the litterbox If you cut the grass. There's a whole world out there That you promised me. I'm not facing it alone.
