Theatrics

I'm enjoying your theatrics How you fake it with such flair Pretend that don't see me Act like I'm not there I hear your cackling giggle With exaggerated smile A show of pure contentment Play acting all the while. I'm not your target audience Don't buy your reverie I feel your eyes across the room Burning, watching me I know that you're aching Choking with desire Dreaming of my mouth, my touch Your body is on fire I'm afraid you're breaking character Lusting into rage You shake and sweat from passion Time to leave the stage You wanted this remember? You needed to be free Had to view your options You'd be settling with me So continue with your monologue You're quite the one man show You're convincing everyone but me I see you and I know
