Deceive Words

I will dream tonight

Not for you

Or of you

But love, you

Will see me behind

Your lids

When those eyes close

When your mind goes

To a place 

Where it seeks to be safe 

You will take 

That first quiet breath

And let me in 

You will ask that I not leave

That I make 

The most 

Of you

In the quiet corner

Of your secret needs

You will ask me 

To be 

The everything 

anything 

You want 

You will ask me for the honesty

you yourself cannot offer

Will not give

You will I ask 

That I live

In the quiet 

In the background 

Around the corner

In the dark 

Cause it’s hard for you 

Right now

Cause she is in a delicate state

And you just wanna wait

For the right moment 

To tell her

To sell her on the idea 

Of us

How we just 

Happened 

Hardly a plan of yours

The way you 

Explained it to me 

When I smelled her perfume

On the collar of your sweater

The way you explained 

That the secrets 

Were a better way to get to know me

That you and her 

Were only 

On pleasant terms

And I in turn

Was so far in wasn't I 

I was already lost 

In your hands

Your heart 

Your eyes

So that the bitter of your lies

Was lost in that

Sweet fruit of your tongue

And my better sense 

Got the best of me 

But little by little

Your “tomorrow love”

Became too much for us 

Really for me 

And the cloudy haze 

Of you 

Was raised 

And I packed up my heart

My hands 

My goddamn 

Self respect and left 

And you begged 

To my surprise

You were in 

The worst state 

So I stayed 

For just a minute longer 

To savor the sorry 

That fell from your lying lips 

And I in turn 

Offered you this 

Sorry sweetie…this is it. 

I will dream tonight 

But not for you

Or of you 

But when your eyes close

It will be me

The girl walking away

That’s all you’re gonna see

And I hope that you know 

That to me

It tastes

So sweet
