She Knows Me
Tall trees and winter’s dismay
Empty hearts and cattle calls
Trusting no one save you and
Scattered love on forgotten walls
I love the way her lips
Curl when she tells a lie
A secret agreement between lovers
I promise and she cries
I think I do
I know she does
Killer’s eyes greet the morning
Lusty moans and sweaty brows
The thin line threatens to break
It’s far too late now
Rapture unforgiving as the night
Jumbled in a mixture of cement and love
The city is unforgiving
Love is as lust does
I know it now
But dare not speak
This is bigger than me
Cataclysms and tumbling virtue
A heartless fool I would be
If this lie is true
She has me now
What can I do?
