Cause & Effect

Cold metal on nude skin…
No matter how thickheaded
Lies are always so thin.

I’ve seen your mind wander
With others, no wonder.
Cheating on your sleep
With thoughts that creep.

Menacing eyes accuse me
for your very own disgrace
But you are just saving face.

Love for us is a verb
Stuck in the past tense.
Right now, love makes no sense.
