The way the sun shone on
Your auburn hair, as if to
Sift the red from the brown
I brush it back
But you only look down
And I've never seen
Eyes quite as dead as yours
And I've yet to hear
A tongue quite as sharp as yours
But did you think that I had
Alterior motives?
Or some secret plan?
Cuz I was honest
And honestly
This meant everything to me
And I can read
How carefully sculpted are your words
Bitter and artificial
And I clench my sheets and scream
"Oh but you were there too!
You must havefelt how we connected!
You must have loved me back!
You must have!"
But I feel it's just denial
I turn away
But did you know?
I lie in bed and cannot sleep
Flesh and bone, alone between sea foam green sheets
My bed's an ocean
Where hang on every word you speak
So I've hung myself on I and love and you
