In the silence of the night, when darkness lay abound,
My heart beats at the sight, when my door open without a sound,
I know it’s you’ alright, as it’s at this time you make your round,
You say that I’m your sweet delight! A new pleasure you have found!

… … … … … … … …

I can see you standing there, as your eyes dance over me,
I wonder if you really care, yet you assure me repeatedly,
But is it really fair? That you expect me to fulfil your need,
You leave me feeling empty and bare, after drowning me in your greed!

… … … … … … … …

But tonight I sense a difference, I can see it in your eyes,
You display a wicked grin, as you show your toothless smile,
All of a sudden you let your friends in, and I knew my hunch was right,
This night will bask in sins, if only for a little wile.!

… … … … … … … …

You display me like a piece of art, yet I’m just a toy to amuse and play,
Obliged to do my dirty part, because to live means to pay,
I lay there with a broken heart, and through tears I try to pray,
Treated like a worthless dog, yet you promise it’ll be okay.!

… … … … … … … … …

Used up as the sun arise, its just another happy day,
You shower me with sweet surprise, and kiss my pain away.,
But as soon as the sun leave the sky, and the darkness comes my way,
You change at the speed of light, and I become your defenceless prey!

… … … … … … … … ...
