Don’t feed me lies
Don’t soften the truth
I want to know it all
Everything about you

Who you are
And where you’ve been
Who you consider
To be your friends

Such trivial things
They might bore you
But they interest me
And give me life anew

Don’t stop now
Don’t take a moment
Just spit it all out fast
Until you are spent

If you don’t stop
Then your filter is off
You can’t plan your thoughts
But you may need to cough

For at this speed
You tire yourself out
With your mouth flapping
Like a large trout

But don’t be shy
And don’t take offense
Because of this state
We truly are friends

For now you are speaking
The truths you hold dear
And now your thoughts
Have become so clear

I understand you
And who you are
Where you come from
Why you have that scar

It makes me feel closer
Or less out of touch
To know someone
This much

And I find myself falling
Falling for you
As we sit at this table
This table for two

An island alone
A kingdom of thought
A small place
That cannot be bought

It’s a moment earned
Only if we try
A moment alone
Without a goodbye

We feel so together
In our own little place
No one around us
Despite the crowds pace

All alone
At this table for two
All alone
At this table for me and you.
