words i dare not trust completely
dispatch from your lips so easy
“you are beautiful,” you say
quite proudly to me every day
“i miss you, my bed feels cold,
there’s no one else i long to hold”
my heart yearns for your attention
yet my mind works its retention
refusing stubbornly to believe
all the lies my lover tells me
he is the one i trust indeed
it is therefore that i repeat
in silence my longing plead:
shower me with words as sweet
for if these are lies then i don’t mind
tenderly leaving my truth behind
