The woman you are
hides deep in thee,
beneath the woman
you seem to be.
You hide away
from the strangers eye,
you are not known
to the passers-by.
You go your way
the woman you seem,
but the woman you are
withdraws to dream.
The woman you seem
goes carelessly,
but when love goes by
you start to scream!
The woman you are
knows sudden fear
and hides more deeply
when love is near!
Love might look close
perhaps and see
you beneath the woman
you seem to be!
