Laying in space, a smile on your face
Plastered there, you would catch me stare
I smile lightly, blushing in the cheeks
You kept that smile and occasionally peeked

What if I had a secret to tell, one that presumably would not end well
A secret that could break that smile you so subtly sealed
A secret that would push me away from you because I was revealed

So sweetly I stare into your eyes
So genuinely mesmerized
Would you have a clue?
That I’ve done it without you?

With another man?
You might …

But it will be my secret, because you’re under my spell
A spell so cautiously conducted that you might as well
Just keep that smile there and remain unaware
As a deaf man being approached by a grizzly bear

He’ll never know unless he turns around
But chains prevent him from seeing the sound
