The body lies

Your eyes can touch me
Your scent can embrace me
Your voice can graze my skin
And that’s what I’ll miss most of all
I want to believe it
And trust what the body can know
But the body lies

Your eyes evade me
Your silence betrays me
The lies your body told were so unkind
And I couldn’t face it
I was a cliche, and behold
You couldn’t save my soul

I couldn’t face it
I couldn’t face what I know

The body lies
My body lied
Your body lied
The body lies
