Plenty of Lies

During the late hours of night

Not yet day

But way past midnight

I looked into your eyes

And with each laugh

They find their way into

My heart

When your eyes are closed

I want them open

There is only one problem

With you up so high

It’s hard to reach

We have the will to write

Child enough to act silly

Adult enough to enjoy your touch

If you let me

One day I’ll show you

What it means when

Our lips blaze with heat

When hugs mean more than hello

Creating the body to go weak

When the mind goes numb

Only if you lie to me

I have plenty of friends

To tell you the truth

I’m not perfect

Not anywhere close

Only I’m trying to change

Are you?
