Free Cee If You Read This Your Computer Will Burst Into Flames

FENCES BUILT BY DEFENSES I once said you and I had different definitions of love and what it's all about now i'm left treading water in a sea of doubt I know our feelings about love compete with one another but it's all about the fire and the embers we must smother we embrace by the fireside and swear our love will never end while I hear all the errant contradictions I need you to defend as all my queries about you and my dubiety mount and all that remains on your mind is the condition of my bank account I thought your idea of love is what you can get now i'm not certain enough to place a bet I just know that the disparate ideas we have are evident and the difference in the way we love is prevalent I know my conception of love is what I can give to you but it doesn't seem to matter what I do you just want what you want and you want it now while I know how much my love has to and can endow we sit midst the shimmering lights, waging shadows and your selfish desire as three glasses of rum and your egocentric ideas douse out the fire I never took love as a contest, rivalry or competition all I know is when it comes to love we don't have the same definition © 2012......
