Old Man Reality

Humor me
If I was not myself tonight
Would you spare me all of this pretense
Pretend dear
Only for a little while
What would you if I held no consequence
Cause I know
Tomorrow
This will fade
And Old Man Reality take your place
We skirt it
Tease and taunt as tensions build
I wonder will our bubble burst this time
These embers red
You have lain between us dear
Might catch and burn my skin during the night
Still I know
Tomorrow
This will fade
And Old Man Reality take your place
Feelings linger, skin under finger
The back of my neck, your breath, send me shivering
I‘ll not escape your memory, so easily, rain down on me
Soak me to the bone, but I am still alone
Our time unwinds
Restless now we tempt the edge
To strong to leap to weak to turn away
The match is set
Pleasure stands against regret
Our bodies making games our minds must play
