Desire Deceives
Shivering from freezing winter winds,
I climb into the warmth of his pickup,
and intertwine with his charm and grace.
His kisses melted any lingering doubts:
his hugs make me feel secure and needed;
he whispers love, faith and trust.
Something is wrong, I feel it hiding there.
Guarded meetings, short and sweet, always rushing,
can't be late, he has a roommate, he has a wife. NO!
My mind says let him go, heart disagrees,
mind says it is wrong, he can never be mine,
heart won't listen, it wants him still, needs him.
So I shut reason out, banish morals,
desire deceives my mind,
and we continue to grope in the dark.
I climb into the warmth of his pickup,
and intertwine with his charm and grace.
His kisses melted any lingering doubts:
his hugs make me feel secure and needed;
he whispers love, faith and trust.
Something is wrong, I feel it hiding there.
Guarded meetings, short and sweet, always rushing,
can't be late, he has a roommate, he has a wife. NO!
My mind says let him go, heart disagrees,
mind says it is wrong, he can never be mine,
heart won't listen, it wants him still, needs him.
So I shut reason out, banish morals,
desire deceives my mind,
and we continue to grope in the dark.
