Confusion Reigned Supreme In My Lair
In my lair
I seized life by her hair
Cos I was fed up with the affair
In which folks went for broke
In harsh words and tones they spoke
Crushing my stark reality as they awoke
Feeling guilty
Cos stalking me became their utility
Frowning at the versatility
I took in my stride
As they plotted and slayed my pride
When without an iota of shame they took me for a ride
Assuming their insidious acts wouldn't boomerang
When calumny and salacious stories on their smart phones rang
With a boisterous bang and slang
To the past they couldn’t escape
Although through odious humble pie they scraped at the cape
Where teeming with sorrow in the lovescape
That consorted the folly
They flaunted when they taunted Polly
To delight rival Molly
Who by my side had stood
Resolute in a nasty neighbourhood
Where derided and misunderstood
I lay no claim
To the lair in which I played a fair game
With neither friends nor foes as I swallowed both blame and shame.
