Undisturbed emotionally
Dispassionate
Equanimity
Sober, clear minded
Acknowledge emotion
Stay clear of passions
Be Stoic.

Perfect , just a perfect evening
Lovely company, quiet music
Sumptuous meal
Captivating conversation
Everything else seems a world away
He was a man of her dreams
Right everything!

Then it was time to leave
She just needed to go to bathroom
A quick dash before they head off
Only to come back and find him gone
With a note left behind saying sorry
It was all a mistake
He was married and needed to go
She sat down for a minute
It was all a blur !
A nightmare.

She doesn't want to go home
She's happy to face the dawn
Walk of Shame and the whole shindig
She wants to stay with me tonight
She's a big girl now.
She wanna chill with the big boy.

She lay awake beside him
Thoughts swirling her mind
The guilt, was consuming her very soul
She had slipped to deepest depths of shame
How does one recover from this

He slept soundly beside her
A hint of great satisfaction etched of his face
He had dreamed of this night a long time
He had preyed on her weakness
Without mercy exploited her generosity
Using charm, he exposed her vulnerability

Now what next,
She had bared her body and soul
Given everything
Now, she lay there without a thing in return
She could not keep him for herself
He isn't hers now, never was
Moments with Married man,
Are just a fool's gold.

Don't look for too long
It will make your heart long
And that would be wrong
Because to one do I belong

You can't keep me for yourself
I am a journeyman  
Am different things to different people
A breeze to some, a tornado to another
Don't try to contain me.
Am No one's.

Everyone got a voice and a choice
It all sounds so nice
Lies, Lies. All Lies
You've got neither
But you know no better
Wallowing in your ignorance
As they say, ignorance is bliss

Time to face up, Man/Woman up
These are terms and conditions
You've got no wriggle
Just sign the bottom of the page
And admit that they control you
After all the own you
You've got no voice or choice.

Even she be a strong-willed woman
But from time to time
Her heart longs for a man
To be with and cherish, because
Life is too far to walk alone

Every now and then
At night she tosses and turns
She seem not to get any to sleep
Unending loneliness is Her biggest fear
Life is too far to walk alone

Memories of a time gone by
When she had someone she called her own
Haunt Her soul without letting
The what ifs and maybes echo in her mind
These dark clouds do not seem to lift
Yet she's got to journey on even though
Life is too far to walk alone
