By Damien Knight

I tell myself to leave my heart at the door
this ain’t about love anymore.
I say I need these walls if I wanna stay.
That this is just a game we play

but that’s not who I am.
I’m just not that kind of man.
To act on lust and desire
without my love on fire.

I keep thinking of you,
of all the things we’d do,
the past,present, and what can be
if only you put your trust in me.
