We Both Know

 

We Both Know

by Pamela Murphy

 

 

Of course it is wrong

To want you the way I do

To dream of you at night

So that I wake and pace the floor

     in frustration.

It’s only infatuation

Or perhaps it’s my imagination

That there is something between us

Because I want it to be so

I may never know.

 

And what if people knew

If the secret were exposed

The so-called religious would shun us

Even as they committed their own sins

Cheating on their taxes or

Beating their wives behind closed doors

Such hypocrites.

For no one is without sin

I seek only happiness

And I long for your kiss.

 

Yes, perhaps I am wicked

A wanton soul about to crash

And to take you with me

Not unwillingly, you will go

Wrong or not

Too late to stop

You will come to my garden

Of course you will

Because we both know

It is so.
