It's warm inside your clutch... It's ok to want that, right? Your lips are smooth and soft Like pillows to rest my head upon At night and forget the day... And it's ok to miss that, right? Your words soothe me, your voice A rusty yet clear stream of water. So many times I was lulled to sleep By the sound of your sweet nothings Whispered and lost in the depths of my mind. And it's alright to crave that, right? It must be. Searching for some consolation- Something that says it's ok To want you To need you For I do need you, don't I? But how is this fair to her Dreaming of another man While I sleep next to her, In the same bed? It can't be right That when she touches me I'm wishing it were his fingers Grazing on my shuddering skin. Lost within the guilt, While she smiles... Such a sweet smile And I recognize it As the naive's grin. And yet, with a sorrowful distaste For myself, I wish it were him Smiling back at me. Someone please take away these sinfull thoughts And let me lay with her, Guiltless. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Thank you very much Eric  I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
