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.
