My Window Has Betrayed Me..........Again!

The chilly morning air has me
hiding beneath the familiar fluff
of that ratty old comforter
that I love so much.
My legs instinctively
pin down the edges and hold on
careful not to let any stockpiled body heat
escape through secret doorways.
I turn my back on the window
that has betrayed me once again.
The evidence of it's betrayal
leaving a thick frost on the inside
to greet me each morning.
Oh, the draft can be felt
all the way across the room
here on my bed.
Winter mornings can be brutal!
My feet defy me and refuse
to leave the cozy pocket they've found
just to be shocked awake by the icy floor.
I wish I could stay here all day
soaking up your body heat like a thief
while you sleep like
an innocent bystander.
Can you blame me?
Your body has found a way to
turn ice-cold air into
warm, intoxicating comfort.
The day must begin
so I'll make a mad dash through the house
to the back room
to kick up the thermostat.
It still doesn't compare to the warmth
that bed holds between the ratty old comforter
and you.
