My ****** Betrays Me

My ****** betrays me

It yearns to be touched, kissed, caressed

Drawn to the point of ecstasy

But perhaps lingering at the edge

To relish the pleasure for a moment

A moment

Longer

My ****** betrays me

Always wanting more

More

More

Never consolidating with the others parts

The brain

The heart

And we are not speaking in terms of anatomical correctness

No, but in terms of

Emotions

I said it

My ****** betrays me

My heart yearns

They argue

The heart wants intimacy, human touch, connection

The feeling of looking into the eyes of another and knowing

In that instant

That second

That moment

Everything is okay

And even if it isn’t

It doesn’t matter

Nothing will matter

Except

This

Moment

My ****** betrays me

My heart yearns

And they argue

But my brain

My logic

The voices within

They speak up, naturally of course

Please the ****** for the night

Intimacy

Ha

Intimacy

Have you looked inside

For your insides are as hideous as the out

Do not believe otherwise

My ****** betrays me

My heart yearns

They argue

But my brain

My brain does the most damage

It controls them all

The betrayal, the yearning

My brain betrays me

My brain wants what it cannot ever have

My brain desires things so far from its reach

My brain imagines the impossible

Love

My ****** betrays me

My heart yearns

They argue

Then my brain

My brain goes off

Thoughts passing by at the speed of light

Each one, so very important

My brain is in charge.

It supplies the salty wetness that falls from my eyes

The emptiness I feel within

My ****** betrays me

My heart yearns

They argue

But my brain

My brain destroys all

My brain burns the cities down

The dreams

Dashed against the rocks

My desires

Meaninglessly quenched

My emptiness

Forever there

My brain betrays me

My brain yearns

And within, is an argument

Within

Within is the problem

No one will ever know, So fear not

Let the brain betray

Let it yearn

For the mouth

Perhaps, that is who really is in charge

The mouth shall not betray

The eyes may

The eyes do

But who catches them long enough to see inside?

No one has, No one will

My brain betrays me

My brain yearns

An argument, within

But my mouth

Shall

Never

Betray

Me

It shall remain closed

Sealed tight

Strongest of clay bricks

Guarding my secrets

Guarding what lies within

The confines of my soul

Emotions

Emotions betray me

Emotions yearn

Emotions cause me to argue within

But my mouth

My

Mouth

Shall

Remain

Loyal
