What We Don't Say

After Sunrise
It’s late in the morning
The alarm has been pushed again
Hazel eyes are opening
Surrendering to the morning’s light

Do you see me lying here?
Naked and unafraid
It’s the only time I’m real for you
Don’t move – time is only a game.

Eyelashes wash the pillow case
Vision clear and concise
Softly twist in the bed sheets
Don’t turn away, hold onto me tight

Do you see me lying here?
Exposed, my heart’s on the page
It’s the only time for solitude
Whispering - this love just isn’t the same

I wonder what your eyes can see
Follow how far away I can go
Pushing tears into the deep
Holding still now, so they can’t flow

Do you see me lying here?
Uncovered, bare in the breeze
Admitting I am in love with you
Letting go of self defeat
