My phones rings at 1:00 AM
apologies pile online
she the lonely wife
unused, unwanted and unappreciated
undesired confessing to me
sunny days are gone
now she is more comfortable in rain...

I ask of her
how can we unwind desire?
you ask of waistbands of fire
for me to offer you
flowers in an oasis
to relieve this tired stasis
your husband
pretending to live for you...

Let us dance for rain
before you realize you're drowning
Show you how to swim again
no more phony meaningless words
as to whom is suffering more...

All this longing and lying
tonight I am tired
and choose not to be lonely

by myself...
