they beckon me 
							in quiet moments 
							threatening me 
								with exposure
						uninvited 
								little memories 
								wickedly taunt 
									my composure 
						close your eyes 
								search his face, a 
								mood altering drug 
								I simply can't erase  
						erotic stimulation 
								blinding from within  
								another night alone 
								another mortal sin 
						let it go 
									feel the pain 
									a sudden drizzle 
									torrential rain 
						into the looking glass 
									smiling softly, I stare 
								who is this stranger 
									lurking there? 
						a devil 
									a screamer 
									an angel 
									a dreamer 
						moods betray 
									looks deceive 
									avoid the heart 
								upon my sleeve 
						perhaps you see 
									beyond the mirror 
									through the facade 
									and past the fear 
						mood swings 
									desperate cries 
									she stands bemused 
									over sweet little lies 
						moody blues 
								behind the door 
								shadow dance 
								across the floor 
						savor the music 
								ignore that alarm 
								close your eyes 
								dismiss the charm 
						excuse me, sir 
								don't mean to be rude 
								I'd ask you to dance 
								but I'm not in the mood 
						kiss her quick 
								before she fades 
								close the door and 
								draw the shades 
						sweet Jesus 
									just give me 
									one moment 
									of calm with 
						strong arms 
									'round my body 
									that will stay 
									through the dawn 
						give me a beach 
									to bake and bask 
									fuel my energy 
									forsake the past 
						shove me up 
									against the wall 
									another mood 
									another call 
						whispering winds 
									free my spirit 
									my heart races 
									refusing to fear it 
						it being love 
									love being you 
									catch me I'm falling 
									into the mood 
						and like a feather I 
									float into the abyss 
									of a thousand emotions 
									from a myriad of years and 
						invading my entire 
									being, without asking 
									I embrace them 
									in defeat...
