I was dating this boy once.
Boy who slept with a bolster.
I’d get so annoyed sometimes,
So we made a deal:
Three nights with his dear bolster,
Four with the slightly needier one,
The moving, breathing bolster.
Me.
Now I sleep seven nights without him.
So I bought myself this extra cushiony, life-sized pillow.
Hugged it like I meant it.
And damn, it was good.
Then it hit me,
Maybe I was too hard on the bolster.
Never really gave it a chance.
But now that I have…
I can be fearless.
No fear of sleeping alone.
Eagerly waiting for my commitment issues to return,
So I can give something back to society,
In the form of no fucks given.
Perfect match, really:
My commitment issues,
And something emotionally available every night.
Hey, Bolsi, how you doin?
