As we lie in our bed it becomes quite apparent,
like the first one to a million, with Chris Tarrent,
Soon i'll need a telescope to see inside your head,
You pass me the silent remix, as we lie hear in our bed.
The double album silence, just £12.99,
Turn up the volume, that last sigh was divine,
I prefer it wearing headphones I can pick up the disgust,
in your silent treatment, against which I can't protest

Hi parkster, I like this:

As we lie in our bed it becomes quite apparent,
I'd suggest reshuffling this to end the line on: 'lie in our bed' for more impact
like the first one to a million, with Chris Tarrent,
this line didn't make sense to me through lack of knowledge, maybe it could be made accessible to a wider audience?
Soon i'll need a telescope to see inside your head,
You pass me the silent remix, as we lie hear in our bed.
Is 'hear' intentionally mispelt? I didn't like it (but maybe its just me!)
The double album silence, just £12.99,
Turn up the volume, that last sigh was divine,
I really liked hearing description about the 'sigh', this was the highlight for me
I prefer it wearing headphones I can pick up the disgust,
the 'disgust' is hard for me to imagine, I'd prefer description similar to the 'sigh' to set the mood
in your silent treatment, against which I can't protest

The poem sounded prosey to me, maybe it could be condensed to give it a more poetic feel. Id work on cutting out some of the personal pronouns. I liked the message though, thought that it was clever in parts, and that the scene was nicely set. Thanks for sharing.
