First
Try being alone
Until
Lost in the dark
Seems comfortable
Until Jupiter and the moon
Sound reasonable
Until cats look like willow trees
And the people like wilted flowers
Until you understand
That they are all out of their
Minds
And you're in worse shape
Until you see
Marriage as slavery
Boyfriends as leashes
And girlfriends as tombs
Until afternoon
And midnight
Are the same woman
In different heels
Until your mirror
Runs for congress
Until you can smile
At hurricanes and suicide
Yeah
Try understanding that first
Then when the next one comes along
You'll understand love
A little more
Oh, no...
You still won't be ready
But you'll be
Stronger
