Just Being Honest

Solo swing set

Toes dragging along the gravel

I stare straight ahead and tell myself the latest argument was heaven sent…

Meant to be because they say all couples argue to a certain degree

But the edge of our words is felt from deep within

And they escape my lips despite my attempts to re-arrange their impact.

Your love turned sour

A pointless battle you’re trying to win

No passion beyond each embrace or a kiss

I got caught up in a situation I told all my friends to avoid

I got caught up in a situation just trying to fill a void

I’m just being honest

It’s not always easy coming home to my apartment alone

So I get wild with the phone

Acting sleazy just to not be alone

Playing an act while we’re pressed up against the wall

I’m just being honest

My hands know a different kind of love than my heart

They pursue pleasure with no fear of the explosiveness of affection.

We create storms with cold eyes and warm bodies

Combined together, drunk off the wine and each other

The defiance of fate

When those two collide the night sky illuminates my apartment for a moment

And if you look closely you can see us holding onto each other

I’m just being honest

I’ve never tasted a mixture so sweet as love yet so bitter when deserted
