He's better than you were to me
But second to your memory
Why are the ones we love the most
Always the ones that don't love us?
An unrequited lover's lust
Does not require the heart to trust
So we can still remain detatched
Avoid emotional impact
And so we live within our lies
Offering excuses no one buys
Back and forth til I give in
Indulging the delicious sin
Cerebrally, it isn't right
But I'm tired of putting up a fight
Emotions that my heart creates
They overcome and dominate
Objective thoughts logic prescribes
Lie dormant recessed in my mind
I'm void of patience; full of fire
Desiring the instant gratified
Caught up in the moment's heat
Swept away in the release
The aftertaste that's left is guilt
But my stomach is an empty pit
Once again, I change the rules
I contradict the things I do
And you lay there perplexed, confused
Trying to sort my lies from my truths
But even I can't separate
The things I feel and the things I fake.
