And in the dim yellow light I see
What was becoming of me
Woman is what woman does
Bat your eyelashes once
Close to your lover
Open to another
To see how fickle dreams could be
Honesty yet another scarcity
And as you lay your head down to sleep
And ponder the existence of an honest man to keep
You tell yourself it's worth the dream
To indulge in fantasies while they're free
To make love with all intensity
Lay bare with all your dignity
For mistaken, ever shaken
Of love we've known but now forsaken
For nothing more than intimacy
While heavy breaths lay to rest
Side by side, like corpses sharing beds
As we close our eyes and claim ourselves free
Unaware & doomed for all eternity
