Farther From Perfection

Pressure from one another
Demanding difference from me
Not provoked on purpose
Just accidently free

Exposed Attraction
Reality set aside
Uncontrollable feelings
Impossible to hide

Beauty is no issue
I love you is not said
Lie to make it sound the same
Infatuation fed

Breaking silence, hold your breath
Both clinging for protection
Step across the boundary line
Farther from perfection

Knowing what they're doing's wrong
Neither seem to care
Turn your head and close your eyes
As morals start to tear

Hear the door creak open
See terror in his eyes
She steps into the darkness
Feel anguish in her cries

Overwhelming with immodesty
Alarmed with dismay
Unable to move
Not sure what to say

She turns toward the door
As calm as can be
I look up at her
She looks back at me

Turning her head
Refusing to cry
She looks back no more
And whispers goodbye
