Someone Else
Someone else lies close
as I lay beside you
it’s me that you kiss
it’s her that you
make love to.
You touch my body
your hands caressing
it’s I that you speak to
it’s she that is
listening.
When we’re together
we’re drifting apart
it’s me in your eyes
and her in your
heart.
There’s someone else
between the sheets
it’s me that is present
it’s her that you
need.
