The Secret Assumption
He smiles but I can tell it is forged
I can see the empitness behind those eyes
Trying to mimic the happiness we once adored
But I don't smile, no feeling for me to hide
Instead I wear my heart on my sleeve
Wondering why he feels the need to play this game
why he feels the need to stay when his desire is to leave
Secretly hiding his thoughts, hoping i feel the same
So I wait to see what his next move is
Studying him as if he were a school project
Documenting his slightest changes
Watching as his manhood morphs from soft to erect
Hypothesising that he will surcome to his passions
I can't stand to complete my experiment
And to my surprise he exhorts a different reaction
He walks away, manhood hard but still content
Explaining himself to this woman as if he's too good for her
My eyes immediately fill with tears of digust
He is declairing his love for his wife and no neeed for another
But I have already sinned, given into my lust
Now the tables have turned and I appear to be the crook
My assumptions lead me astray and into spite
But as long as he doesn't know, everything will be alright.
