Pseudo Allegory: Behind the Veil of Deception

If only for a moment you could let me inside
To see a great fortress, or hobbit hole where you hide
I won't be judgemental and play toying tricks
I just want a gander, see what makes you tick
Feel the pain of your sorrow, wicked past telling lies
Keeping you held at gunpoint by yourself stepped aside
Behold the rainbows and unicorns oh what a flurry of bliss
See I know you have self-pity a cacophony minds mix
Something awful and strange brought peace to your being 
And it puzzles me so to see you standing there breathing
I really don't know why this happened to you 
But I feel for you buddy even when you are rude
Making false accusations about nonsense, a ruse
I know something is wrong so stop hiding the truth
I can see all the way through you all the way to the roof 
Where the shingles are hanging not a drop left of vermouth
Let me in for a moment, let me see, I won't bite
Just to glance at the person whom I reconciled thrice....

Thank you very much I am very humbled and appreciative of your kind words. To be honest I didn't think that anybody would like or understand my inflection. I'm surprised there was any response. We're always our most critical critics. I'm going to write a book. Too long have I put this off and it's time to heave myself into the cosmic winds of change and just accept my failures and cherish my victories. Hope you are well and I hope you have a wonderful year!
