New-found Heart-ache

Wrap your arms around me,
My sweetest, kindest man.
Keep me tight against you,
Hold as tightly as you can.

I don't want to think,
That tomorrow will bring ache.
I want to pretend tonight,
That this romance isn't fake.

Calloused fingers so gently,
Rolling down my skin.
Take all of me tonight,
And bathe in my sin.

I tell myself many lies,
Deny the feelings I have for you.
I wrap my arms around myself,
Just like you used to do.

I fall deeper into this pain,
This misery inside of my chest.
People tell me I don't look good,
And maybe I should take time to rest.

At the end of the day,
When I reflect on what's true,
I discover something painful,
And that's the fact that I love you.

You walk in like a ghost,
Then you take and take and take.
When you win you leave again,
But I admit, you're my favorite heart-ache.
