Cold Rosery (Maybe If We Cheated)

She would scream at the top voice of her heart,

How she wants us to be together as the earth.

Yet all I pretend to hear is silence.

Opened to the fact that she is not mine to have.

Tempted wants to try;

That my commitment to another would be in question.

For that road has been rough and feels like I’m standing alone.

Maybe tonight if I cheated;

Kept it a secret like a child would hide is favorite toy.

Or just say it like God would send rain pours to the earth.

 

She would listen when I say nothing.

More like she heard my words in silence,

And read my minds to the right letters to interpret.

For she warms her way closer with every intimacy,

And with her every smile and patience,

Feels like a place I can warm my thoughts to.

Without being judged or burnt like a witch on steak.

Maybe tonight if we cheated;

Bounded with nothing but emotions over flow.

 

She put a rosary round my neck the other night.

Said I turned and turned like I was scared of my own sleep.

A prayer said and a cold beaded cross around my neck.

Just friends – but safe to spend tonight in your arms.

And maybe in the morning we would wonder if we had taken a chance.

Maybe if I had shared that kiss while she lay on my chest.

Maybe tonight we forgot we both love someone else – cheat.

And wake up in the morning with nothing on me – but this cold rosary.
