Texas Lies

Tell me your Texas lies again.

Say those words that you don’t mean.

They made me happy for a while.

As we drift apart, unclean, unseen.

 

Remember, please remember the loving that we had.

A love we thought, it felt so good.

Only a world could destroy our love.

And so it did, because it could.

 

On idle days, on days I should know better.

Your sleeping breathing breasts will gather for the morning.

And limbs and limbs, those magical limbs.

Will not be for my fawning.

 

But no. It’s decided.

My tribute is not for today.

I’ll save it for my final breath.

Not Rosebud, but Alison..

Tell them, so they know.
