I wish I could leave it all behind
Pretend I offer nothing but friendship
But I sit here with tears in my eyes
Frustrated that you are all that’s on my mind
Its impossible. I know that now
It doesn’t stop me craving
every moment spent with you
With my hands on your chest
Your hands on my hips
My nails down your back
Your tongue tracing my lips
The sweat drips from bodies entwined
Hearts pounding, lungs heaving
Stomach drops as I see you leaving
Your weren’t the first
and haven’t been the last
To see me exposed
In the name of desire
But no one has seen me,
Down to my bones like you.
Looking past the imperfections
To make me feel brand new.
If you had taken better care
Of my fragile heart
It wouldn’t be so hard to make a new start.
You’ll read this and laugh.
And ill stay hidden in this place,
Where no-one seems to find me
And look beneath my face.
Everything I do seems to push you away
But all I’m trying to do is exactly what you say
You misread my intentions
Come up with another version,
All that ive been seeking
Is an escape or a diversion.
I just want you to be happy,
In your body and your mind
It seems at the cost of my own,
But I’ll risk it if you’re fine
