Too Warm

My love is a heavy blanket

Thick and soft

Enveloping and entangling

Velvet

Some people only want to sleep

Under a light sheet

They overheat

They don’t want the weight

He folded me long ago

Left me at the foot of the bed

Sitting neaty, untouched

She claimed to need warmth

But she kicked off the covers

Left me in a pile on the hard floor

You

You’re so tactile

You seemed to like my textures

But you run hot

And I am afraid

That I’ll be too warm
