“BEAUTIFUL LIE” 28 Jan 92

You’re a cheap reflection
in a rented room
I watch you dress
smell stale morning perfume
love is just a memory
the night before
the only thing we have
the riches of the poor
cling to me in ecstasy
dreaming of love
Is this the man I have become?
Is this the man I have become?
