He's sound asleep
But I am wide awake

The tighter his embrace
the more lonely I become

Trying to wipe away the tears
before the salty, fat drops reach his skin
revealing my darkest secrets

Revealing the loneliness that consumes me

The loneliness that haunts me

The loneliness that fails to be conquered...
even by the tenderness in his eyes

Revealing the loneliness...
that will lead to my demise

What is buried so deep inside
A memory so entwined
many lines and differing angles
The same frame can be seen
Differently with different lenses
Different outcome for every scene
Can alter all the things
And I would not remain
as the person I am
