Come and lay beside me (not too close),

In this broken net of dreams,

It’s easy to get caught up;

In the net, in the moment, in the act.

That’s too close, love.

***

You’re an outline on the floor (silver lining massacre)

I’d do anything to trust you, I do trust, I do, I do. I think

I can’t trust myself

Three in five are deceitful (three adulterous, two faithful)

Or naive, which is you, which is me…

***

She asked for a kiss, you gave her an acorn

Better off, it saved her life and his

You should go to that land far far away, you two both

Lovers in public, no secrets, no cheats, but she’ll call bullshit. I bet

***

She never finds a thing when she’s searching

And when she isn’t searching you find her. She’s been found by another,

She’s torn between old and new

And who will love her, same thoughts, same feelings, same page.

***

It started just innocent, your eyes, your smile,

Now we’re touching elbows and your hand brushes mine

Do you know what you’re doing, do you know how I feel

Rhetorical. Don’t answer that, ignore what is real.

***

You asked for a kiss, I gave you the past

Worse off, I suppose, you’re guilty

Of temptation, of loving, of lusting

Of offering another world, to me.

***

She wasn’t looking for a way out, but greener grass

Bluer eyes. How is she to know, between one

Or the other? You should take her away to that land.

Give an alternative route

***

We’ll see.
