The grey encircles and unwinds
And if you believe in it you are defined
As what you are 
Under the star
We call sun 
But everyone
Is more than the warmth that escapes
When the spirit leaves the shapes 
Of human form 
And you may have been born
But from whence you came 
And they gave you a name 
But is it essentially you 
I have been wanting to
Extricate from the girl you know 
Into something that is slow
And soft and sweet to the touch
Always professing what it loves so much
Whether it’s man, beast or rock
And it is woman that I am not 
As I own this skin
Only to unite with him 
In the subterfuge 
And do you want me to prove
My credentials to you 
As if I’m applying to 
Some burden out of the blue 
And you’re starstruck in the moment we meet
And, man, I can feel the heat 
Issue from your side to mine
Will it be like this all of the time? 
I risk a glance up
And all I see is love
Burning in his silhouette 
How could I ever forget 
The mark that man made on my heart
Reaching out to me in the dark
