But You Do Lie

Laying here in my bed Listening to your deep and shallow breath Such a smooth and calm sound I roll over and lay a hand on your chest Too much movement it seems For you rolled onto your side As I steal my hand away I close my eyes and try not to cry I get out of bed and move to the couch I lay there in silence, smoke in hand I try and calm my pounding heart Finally drifting off to dream land I wake with a start A gasp caught in my chest I feel strong arms gently squeeze And a warm hand on my breast I stiffen with fear Until you softly say my name The tension slowly ebbing Until calmness has the reigns You kiss the back of my neck In that slow and sensual way Repeating my name in a whisper A game you know how to play You gently roll me over And take my head in your hands You kiss my forehead lightly The beginning of a dance You gaze at me deeply And said “I love you so much I can’t stand it” You begin kissing my eyes and lips Stealing like a bandit I take you in my arms And feel my insides quake You run your fingers through my hair Giving it a little shake You pull away from me slowly And looked deeply in my eyes I blush and turn away I don’t want to see any lies You lay down behind me And hold me so very tight And then you said those words I dream of every night “You are all I ever wanted, You are all I’ll ever need, I’ll do anything you want me to, Just spend your life with me” I don’t know why I did it But I begin to cry He pulls me even closer “I love you, Trust me I don’t lie” I can feel myself roll over What happens next, who knows For I awake with a start The tears still soaking into my pillow I finally get my bearing Everything is as it seems It turns out you do lie But only in my dreams
