My Body

When I said I loved you,

It wasnt from the heart

It was actually from the skin

As it sweat out definitions of

How you made it feel

I have a fear of love

So I let my body love you instead

I have a fear of love

So I let my body love you instead

Its my hands that call you at midnight

My lips that crave you in the morning

When I say I miss you,

Its really my ears that miss your whispers

I moan for the liquor on your tongue

Which I drink as easily as I speak your name

Your back longs for my scratches, instead of my affection and

Your scent travels in different languages

That need no translation

I have a fear of love

So I let my body love you instead

I have a fear of love

So I let my body love you instead

It will wear your breath like long sleeves on a cold day

We've played cold games

Like making snow angels In devilish white sheets

The beat of your heart is not in sync with mine

And thats okay

Because I rather have physics than romance

My heart stays silent

Because love would just make things too complicated

So I rather my body fall in love with you

Dress itself in the darkness that I'm used to you in

Every time we turn the lights out,

Which is better,

Because light would bring Too much truth to the situation

I have a fear of love

So I let my body love you instead

I have a fear of love

So I let my body love you instead

I want to leave the Spiritual to religion

And commitment to the marriage

Dreams to the hopeful

Because right now just fucking, seems more Protective

Than loving

And giving

And trusting

And trusting and giving And loving

And thinking

And over thinking and

Misunderstanding and Expecting and
