Pillow Talk

A bottle of pills

Speak the words left unsaid

A needled vein

The story comes to an end

A child is born

The pride of Mom and Dad

A tooth is lost

The pillow of make believe

A friend is made

Everything is going just fine

A story time

The pillow shakes in laughter

 

A broken plate

The door slams closed tight

A home broken

The pillow drowns the sounds

A friend is lost

Nobody seems to understand

A birthday past

The pillow the only real friend

A choice is made

Everything is out of control

A first time

The pillow silently watches

A thought of hope

Does it really matter anyway

A child falls

The pillow catches it all

A life lost

Long before the bitter end

A call for help

The pillow hears the cries

A bottle of pills

Speak the words left unsaid

A needled vein

The story comes to an end

 

A pillow gone

Lying alone in the garbage

A lid is shut

The pillow is not a real friend
