Your eyes tell me volumes
That your lips won't utter
And your body tells me
The lies your tongue has told
I sit and wait for your truth
For you to tell me all
But you spew out beauty
False as it may be
And I long for it to be real
I lie to my heart
Ignore my brain
Close my eyes
Kiss your lips
And taste your tongue
Pretending
Denying what should be done
Protecting one ache with another
