THE BODY LIES

Your eyes can touch me
Your scent can embrace me
Your voice can graze my skin
And that’s what I’ll miss most of all

I want to believe it ~
and trust what the body can know
But the body lies

Your eyes evade me
Your silence betrays me
The lies your body told were so unkind

And I couldn’t face it ~
I was a cliche, and behold
You couldn’t save my soul

I couldn’t face it
I couldn’t face what I know

The body lies
My body lied
Your body lied
The body lies
