Truthful Lies

Truthful Lies

Sometimes I wonder,

as I gaze into your eyes.

Could you be thinking

that my heart is full of lies?

You seem to doubt me

when I’m  whispering to you

my inner feelings

that are only just for you.

 

Sometimes I blunder,

but, I am not telling lies.

Still, you’re not believing.

I can tell it in your eyes.

I want to tell you

what I’m feeling deep inside.

It’s overwhelming,

as I lay there by your side.

 

I say “I love you.”

You say you don’t think so.

I ask you “Why?”

You say I ought to know.

Why must it always

be the same old show?

I say “I love you.”

But, you don’t think so.

 

Sometimes like thunder

passion beats within my thighs.

I try to fool you.

But, I wear a thin disguise.

My feeble efforts

quickly make me realize.

A woman’s needs

Are much different than a guy’s.

 

Sometimes I wonder,

as I gaze into your eyes.

What is your meaning

when you say that I’m not wise?

I try to tell you,

but, it never comes out right.

It always seems

such efforts start a fight.

 

I say “I love you.”

You say you don’t think so.

I ask you “Why?”

You say I ought to know.

Why must it always

be the same old show?

I say “I love you.”

But, you don’t think so.——————R. W. Johnson—–(1994)
