What women in love do

(We) throw off our coats to reveal bare shoulders
(We) dance in front of the mirror, imagining our beloved is there
What women in love do

Become unhinged in subtle and profound ways 
(slightly crazy and beside ourselves)
We become different and awkward and out of sorts
When we fall (for married men, mysterious men and holy men)
Forgetting ourselves in the most awful and luscious of ways
Women in love do the most interesting things

Today I am a woman in love(and my heart aches)
