Sleepless
Resisting the want to write
To ask
If he could hold me
Tight
Enough so I'd forget
The night
The lies
And the nevers...

Iced lips
And forevers
That were all in my head
Though you're the one
In bed  
Who said,
I ******* love you
All pretend....

I merely believed
The devil.....

And though it's true
The hurt is you
What I wouldn't give
To lay with you
Entwined
To laugh upon your lips
A kiss
My soul
And ever
If I did regret
It's only that
I believed you
When you said you did
And I still do

Who thought
You'd care?
But oh, it's true
You only push away
In fear ....

Whatever......
