DOUBLE BED MONOLOGUES

  drugged, drunk      nausea
                 bruised & burnt      inside out
      he´s lying      I´m going
       beside me      round
      once again      in circles
       trying to      my hands
        touch me      are numb
with his      no pain
          bandaged hands      after the accident
      but can he      the pain
     I shouldn´t      after she left
be here      just burns
      sleep here      like ice
       .................      ..........      
       I´d left for good      she´s gone
before he cried      I´m crying
for help      for her
I´ll leave again      at the top of my soul
                        for sure      outside in
     ...........      ...........
                     go to sleep      I´m on fire
        now, now      no, no
         darling      darling
     go to sleep      our bed
              hush, hush      is burning
   do me      and where are
                that one favour!      you now?
