We lay entwined in our underwear
The air slowly moving through the open window
It's a hot day today... heard it was going to be 35
A day for doing nothing
I drag on the cigarette as if it were the last few drops
Of a lagoon in a barren dessert
I'm killing myself anyway
So may as well do it properly
The fan slowly ticks away
If I listen closely enough
I think I can hear it screaming
The unspoken words between us.
But let's just keep the facade
And bask in the rays
Of a sun determined to set
On everything we could ever be.
Your hand rests
on the crevasse of my waist
Rough skin against soft
Solid hands a metaphor
For the very essence of you
And what I want
I'd rather be led along
Than be the one to lead
We foresaw our failure
As if it were a plan
And now we lay here
Contemplating expectations
Translucent smiles
Which hide the truth
That we both know
And choose to hide
You reach for the rizla
Roll a joint and spark it
The orange glow
Illuminating the contours
Of words suspended in the air
Shhh.. Let them hang
There are many things
Which are better left unsaid.
So take my prescence
As if it were here to stay
Engulf my body
As if it were yours to keep
Let's not be strangers now
In this world we call our own
A fairytale reality
That was never anything but.
