For women
Is the best of opiates.
It kills the thoughts
That think about the thoughts,

And too long her thoughts had felt
Their strength. So when the man drew near,
Out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear.

For now she's alone again and all in pain;
She sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay
To trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day. — Stevie Smith
