Stranger
What I thought I knew is no more
But a stranger knocking at my door
Willful cunning the mask you wear
Cheshire smile slinking to get near
And I the blinded beguiling beast
Let you come in to savor a feast
Unrepentant and sallow and chaste are you
Liquor erases the mind and all that you do
Estranged and guarded the door is closed
Goodbye darkness I will not be hosed
