if you wanted to ask me why
my truthful answer would have
come at dinner
don’t ask me why in the throes
of passion
my answer will always be a lie
to ensure the passion continues

if you wanted to ask me why
my truthful answer would have
come at dinner
don’t ask me why in the throes
of passion

hold me now and please
don’t let me go,
i’ve come a long way
this day and all
i want is sleep
but, your eyes are bright
and inquisitive
so i will stay up,
we can talk for a while
put you hand in mine
feel it tremble with our
fingers entwined
i am not as i once was
i am not as expected,
i am as i fully am,
there’s nothing to
hide from you,
i couldn’t do it
if i tried
i have had days
confusing days
that i barely emerged from
i mean to tell you
about them,
explain them to you
from my perspective
my hope is that
in telling you my tale,
you will know something
more about me
if i am successful
you will know where
i come from,
the fires that made me,
and the demons that
still haunt me
give me a kiss
on my cheek
when you are ready
to begin
