Lover, lover in the night
Tell me why you fear the light
Tell me why you run away
At the very thought of day
Just a flaw or could it be
Something that I cannot see
Something darkness keeps concealed
That with dawn might be revealed
Dancing shadows of a lie
Tricks of light to fool the eye
Do you think I'm unaware?
Doubt's a child deception bears.
One can read between the lines
Sense deceit and see the signs
Weakened heart from tainted trust
Thriving love is turned to dust
Just a flaw or could it be
Something that I cannot see
Something darkness keeps concealed
That with dawn might be revealed
Tell me why you run away
At the very thought of day
Tell me why you fear the light
Lover, lover in the night

Larry -an excellent question, one usually aimed haltingly at their back as they exit the room, house, street, or just pondered in their absence - until the eventual confrontation.
I have grown accustomed to (or should I say dimly recall) partners being self conscious bc of a particular flaw of form or age, or just their own prudence, but being party to this kind of deceit certainly spoils the good times and makes you feel used (for those who have a conscience).
The rhyming and metre was spot on, with a low, thrumming pulse, but I especially loved your word choices and how quickly you captured the many reasons for lovers' dawn flight. I'm just relieved you didn't mean secret ala The Crying Game -Whew! (lol).
So glad to read this one on a cold winter's morn in Oz.

Larry, though this is simply beautiful, through and through, there is a deafening
sadness that rings so loudly. Words left unsaid .... moments stolen, only to be
stolen away again, with different circumstances and sentiments ... all of it just
leaves one feeling so alone. Even in a completely crowded room. How sad. How
very, very sad.
I adore the repetition with a twist of the first and third stanzas. It drives the
question home with conviction, but still a softness that feels as delicate as an
angel's wing. Beautiful writing, my friend. As always ~

Wow Larry this was stunning!
The rhythm and repetition drive your message with a strong force straight into the heart, but it is never overplayed.
There is such pain and anger that I feel beneath the words, as if the emotion is restrained but present nonetheless.
Great write, great read!

Hey Larry, thought I'd drop by the old site for a bit. Glad to have read this. You never fail to impress. I'm honoured to have to chance to read your writes and identify to the emotions that spill out from the words. Great job.. :)
