The trick is up my love

I’m found out

But you also gave yourself away,

My hope was

That we could go on

To be more honest

And cease this farce of play.

There was never anything wrong here

Just the inevitability of pursuit

To coincide with the undeniable truth

That you and I were falling

Everything else was mute.

So now,

Across faraway lands

We’ll bury our desire

But we shouldn’t hold fast

To imagining an end to the fire

Nor hold our breath

For promised remnants emerge

And all providenced wishes

Inevitably converge.

We can go and try

To attract kisses

Other than those we yearn for

Caressing other lovers

Different from the one we want more

Struggling in vein

Knowing we are lying.

So we’ll move on

But with the dancing of unconscious streams

Pulling us closer

Consuming our thoughts

And possessing our dreams;

The manifest content

Of adulterous sin

But latently telling us

It would have been worth it giving in.
