Somehow there is a starship far away And it is hidden in every day In the midst of meals and courses In the midst of screaming fights, divorces And I call that love, it’s a futile road To ever carry that heavy load They call life And every wife Knows the weight Of hiding in her husbands hate As he trudges through the snow Pretending he is in the know And I’m taking apart an institution Because it is in my constitution And I always wanted to be a newly wed So I could share somebody’s bed But that dream has faded And I’m jaded At thirty three Like I swore I’d never be I’d follow every dream to its resolution But now it seems the only solution Is to let it go And rest and know That every cloud has its silver lining And I’m one who is undefining What it means to be woman and grown I plunge into the unknown And come out smelling of roses I didn’t realise that I chose this Over a life of steady familiarity Rooted in the ground like a deep tree So steady in its being But there’s something else I’m seeing In the mists of time It’s you and I and we are fine Just as we are Behind every black hole is a hidden star
