A Contridiction In Terms

A contradiction in terms
A Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde
No stopping on this unstable ride
No one knows what he is really about

He wants closeness, but he is far away
He wants intimacy, but he won’t share his secrets
He will be naked
But, he won’t emotionally undress for his love

With a wife and child
He desires women and passion
He wants to remain reckless and wild
He has no sense of honor and responsibility

His thoughts are hidden
He cannot recall
The truth is gone, his mind a blank
He cannot pacify her raging mind

Self Preseverance is all he knows
He won’t trust anyone
His family comes second to his selfishness
He loves himself most of all
