Underneath
Cindy Torres Jun 2015
I see underneath the lies, the pain, the hope, the sadness in someone's eyes. Underneath the despair, & the doubt, I reminisce about those romantic contemplations. I interpret his silence, & hear underneath what he doesn't say, crazy how he can always make me smile during those late night conversations. I feel like a fool before him, but when I'm underneath I see beyond that & ignore what's true. Because, laying there, underneath, he's all I see. I forget the pain, the scars, the loss, the lies, and the emptiness. I know because of what he's been through, he hides the feelings he has beneath. He throws on this mask to hide what's underneath; going around getting high to forget the lows, like that's the only way to cope he knows. He built this barrier to protect himself from getting hurt. Simply lay underneath and forget the past, I want to ease his pain as I take off my shirt. Underneath all this love I have for him, it's loyalty I will always grant him. Underneath what we may not know, there seems to be a reason for why we both can't let it go. Let US go. My attention and my time will be invested from him to another guy? I don't think so. Because underneath all the sweet comments, the passionate kisses, the hidden emotions.. These other guys don't give me the vibe that he do. Underneath all the expensive clothes, underneath someone's appearance; it's his character and mindset that always stays true. Underneath the stars, I lay, contemplating about my boo. Underneath all the fronts I put on to not fall for him, his eyes and voice hypnotized my mind and heart, I hope one day to say I've been able to hypnotize his too. Underneath his past experiences, lies a layer of doubt. He's been hurt in the past, which left him emotionally detached to everyone, and not interested in what "love" is about. He says he'll wait until I'm 18, underneath all the time we'll have to wait, we make the best of what we are. The longer I lay underneath the stars, wishing I was underneath you, I realize love tends to leave hearts with deep scars. Underneath all the relationships I've been in, there are lies and false emotions. When I think about you, and the way I feel about every little thing you do, I accept that there's no way my mind and heart can forget you throughout all these commotions. Now I'm underneath.. Feeling you press up against me, my heart is in your hands, my body is under your control, and my mind is infatuated by your touch. When we lay up, and I memorize every detail of your face, the same adversity keeps running through my mind...
"Underneath all the obstacles, I will never find someone other than HIM, to give all my love to."

Underneath the willow tree,
Sits below just you and me.
And all the many other things
That sit beneath the willow tree.

The willow tree between we,
And we around the willow tree.
A single bird begins to sing,
Underneath the willow tree.

I look at you, look at me,
Our eyes show that we’re happy.
The ground sprouts signs of the spring,
Underneath the willow tree.

My hand slithers cross the ground,
Hoping that hers can be found.
Wondering what this act will bring,
Underneath the willow tree.

Finally our fingers touch,
Hearts are beating so **** much.
Through the leaves the sun glinting,
Underneath the willow tree.

In a fury mind gives way.
I will take her, here, today.
Together our bodies cling,
Underneath the willow tree.

As we begin to reach bliss,
I lean to you and we kiss.
My whole body starts to sting,
Underneath the willow tree.

In the end we’re where we were,
Me just sitting next to her.
Our world hanging from a string.
Underneath the willow tree.
