in reflection, it was the bugbear

be my conscience when
i have no one to defend
all the letters have conspired
to do me harm

he is elusive
no to mention sweet
peering over my beds edge
i spot his feet

who would have know how long he would have wait
not me that is implied
i feel he’s earned my respect
to reprobate

i’m all tucked in bed
my eyelids feel like lead
i can almost see him start
to salivate

where life begins i’ve always got a car running
thats right that s what is said
i’ve never used the spare
thats where
