Hollow Air

She gave herself to pleasure's promise
Damning consequence and shame
For his smile and numbing touch,
For quick passion's sweetest pain.

And in the hollow predawn haze
While he slept so safe and spent
She stumbled from his darkened den
Where she lost what honor meant.

How alive she felt that night
How bright that mocking morning light.
How clear it is, so far from home
That she is strikingly alone.
