I crawled in bed with him, night after night
To ease the pain of losing his wife
He never wanted to buy me roses
No I never really was his chosen
He just wanted something to take the pain away
But only at night and never the day
I was in love with him, so help me God
But in too many a sparkling smile I was awed
I thought I was the only one
At first I was, but when he was done
He turned his back to me on the other side of the bed
And all of these wild thoughts stampeded my head
The thumping of those hooves kept me awake
I left him in a hurried state
I drove down to the moonlit pier
Walked down to the edge and without fear
Dove down into a hidden citadel to which I had no key
And finally, I set my heart and body free.
