Barricade

Barricade

The reason I build this impregnable wall not for comfort or safety 
I’m just sick of it all 
The lies so transparent tears all planned and staged 
Turns this man of joy and benevolence into a caldron of rage 
My thoughts you effect with such disregard spinning webs of lies 
Like a spider with ease 
At one time I saw you as so much more
But in truth you’re a social disease 
Not caring who you hurt as you sate your worldly desire 
Pushing buttons at random, silly girl you’re playing with fire 
These words I write are merely a warning; it’s your choice to heed 
And some good advice take 
This barricade I’m now imposing, you may call it a wall, 
But it’s simply for your sake

Be cool, Edward. Keep it up so you don't go down the path of their choosing. Nothing's worth that. Peace, Audrey

hmmm, I guess some woman really got to you. Was it wife or girlfriend, Edward? I like this metaphor you use for how to react to her, and ironically, for her own sake!! Luv, Andrea and by the way, I loved a man that was like this woman, long long ago.
