The Other Woman

life takes its toll on me
I seek what I can’t reach

I lose myself in sleep
the day gives me no peace

lie down here next to me
I require special skills

he slips under the sheets
forever summer sweet 

I surface for fresh air
to late the ground is white 

the stag makes his retreat  
love slides into the sheath
