Uncovered

Oh the restless nights,
makes my body ache
Forever reminded of something I hate.

Oh the constant clenching
of my jaw and my fists.
The repetitive notion
that we'll never exist.

Though we may perhaps
in the imminent future

If the shoreline touches the horizon,
And the songs of the birds were truer.
Or the morning was dusk,
and the sunset, dawn.
And the deaths of our friendships were fewer.

But the future is far and my heart is near,
For the love that we have may soon disappear.

We may tell the world we are lovers.

If the elephants shrank
and the mice became giants.
And each man became rich
with every heart he desires.
Or the cities were suburbs,
and the countries were cubicles.

But the world doesn't care,
and the days pass by,
Each boy that I kiss,
every word from my lips,
All the affection I give,
Couldn't be more of a lie
if I tried.

I could cry I'm so shameless,
so careless and cold.
For they mean nothing to me and their stories are old.

Two souls,
Two hearts,
Two lovers uncovered.
This will be the day I no longer suffer.
