LIVING A LIE
I wonder where you are tonight
With another in the moonlight?
Even though I told you that I don't care
This thought is something I cannot bear
I can lie to you with lips and mind
But love in my heart you will find
Feelings I have for you are wrong
For to someone else I do belong
Free to love you I would like to be
You are the whole the world to me
If only we could find some way
I would fly to meet you in Calais
But too many others would be hurt
That is something we should avert
I will love you until the day I die
Yet it's so difficult living this lie
Pretending everything is just fine
Knowing that you can not be mine
My heart does forever belong to you
But for now, my love, I must say adieu January 3, 2004 Poetry © Jan Haile Clark
