To Close

You were so close
You saw the lies
what you see in my eyes
and you knew
to little are the truth.

You were so close
you heard my heart
you wanted to be part
Of every beat and
Sharing heated.

You were so close
you felt my skin
Way too thin
and one single touched
had been too much.

You were so close
you left me bare
Just cold air
and memory's haze
filling your place.
