hopelessly she breathes my name
sometimes i like to entertain her for a moment
her seductive touch refined and cool
urgently whispering her bankrupt promises
of desperate escape to a fuller reality
i know everything that she says is a lie
yet on occasion indulge her as she smoothly
peddles the only elixir she has to offer
pretending she's not merely a charlatan
lacking enough substance to obscure her falsity
her thumb cheating the rational balance
as she insistently presses her point
i never forget that she is incapable of seeing truly
and soon grow weary of her myopia
tenderly and resolutely i decide
and once again turn from her anguished pleading
she will eventually have me despite my good sense
but never with my willing cooperation
