Each word is her insurance, Each sentence, her investment That adds to her ever-growing portfolio Of failures and successes. Her yes's and no's, her do's and don'ts Make you doubt your comprehension of her hypnotic conversation.
Every syllable that passes her lips Is well chosen to suit her needs. Every consonant a contract, Every vowel a vow She has every intention to keep.
At night when she lays her head to sleep To ease her wary mind and weary heart, She takes note of every promise, every deed, Knowing every day, the count restarts.
