Everytime I look in your eyes
All I see are your clandestine lies
My heart beats for you and no one else
Your heart beats too, but just for yourself
Still I am attracted to your light
I think about you night after night
If you snap your fingers I will be there
With bells on and glitter in my hair
I've loved you since I was fourteen
Our trysts they fell few and far between
I loved you through your tumultuous life
Your jailtime, addiction and moments of strife
We've never had a proper affair
But I'm the one who's always there
Wanting and hoping that you will get clean
So we can be what we should have been
I married another, had kids but yet
You are the one I can't forget
Sometimes it's too much for me to take
You're in my dreams and thoughts when I wake
I sit and mourn that we may never be
Your heart is empty you have nothing for me
This complaining is all for naught
You'll call, I'll go because I am caught

This poem reminds me of the unattainable heart of 'the wild' The wild people that run before us caputring our heart. aw, the wild ones...the real ones. The dirty lies are only a cover for their pain.
