Dilemma

Together 

They lie side by side 

As a couple


Far away 

The distance between their minds

She believes he keeps secrets


He looks sound asleep

She is wide awake

Her heart cries for the truth


She has the urge

To wake him up 

And demand the facts


Yet she hesitates

He is her life

She dares not lose him


Nor does she want to risk

Her love for him

If he ends up making lies
