Distant Lovers

Distant lovers are exceptional liars

Not honest, because they don't have to be

Convincing your lover that they love them

While they caress, love and hold you

Distant lovers are like spare tires

Taken out of the trunk when times are flat between you and you lover

You lover will call or the Distant Lover will write your lover

So they can tell your lover what they want to hear, but then

The phone call ends, the letter is read then shred

When it's all said and done in the dark,

Distant Lover is put back in the trunk

Their once love is back with you

Making love to you, making plans with you,

Spending a lifetime with you

Distant lover you will never face the reality,

Because you want what you can not have

That true and unconditional love

A distant lover retains no love at all,

Just exceptional lies...

Have you been lied too? Or are you the distant lover?
