tell me about the night
that you couldn't
look at anything
but my soul
and i never
looked up
from your eyes
and i couldn't
see anything
but the shape of your smile
and the way
you rolled your eyes
and it made me feel
light
my cheeks were tired
by the time i went home
and sleep did not visit me
that night

tell me about the night
you spent with her
as if sharing a bed
meant nothing at all
you were trapped
in a haze
and i was sleeping
but you were up
at ungodly hours
with a girl
whose skin you've touched
and lips you've kissed
and hands you've felt
and you tried to be honest
but i felt the oceans churn
and my cheeks didn't hurt
they burned
that night

tell me about the night
you saw her touch me
did you want to **** her
as badly as i did?
did her embrace
light fires in your stomach?
you didn't speak a word
but you told me you loved me
and i said you were drunk
i wonder why
the full moon
drags the truth out of people
and why
i felt so afraid
that night
