LAWRENCE
Love sneaks in
When everything seems quiet
Set the bait
And like a fool you buy it
Your famous self-possession's
Vanished from your repertoire-
This is what can happen when you
Leave the door ajar…
And love sneaks in
And whispers to you sweetly
Silly words that change your life
Completely
You're fumbling in the dark
The master's now the mark
You're out of luck
If love sneaks in on you
The player has been nicely played
The mocker's now the mocked-
That's what tends to happen when
You leave yourself unlocked
And love sneaks through
The usual defenses
The sighs, the smirks
The stale old pretenses
What's gone is what you were
What's left is all a blur
You're stung, you're stuck
For love snuck in with her
