Your Spying Eyes


I caught you creeping around
with your spying eyes
Quick, furtive glances
betray your silent, stealthy movements
Human satellite camouflaging black cloud,
always in passing tear bursts,
secretly scans through a purse in my closet
Your dubious, devious actions
speak loud
Such churning, internal accusations
would make any insecure man proud
Furthermore, you compounded your fidelity lies,
when you installed web cam spying eyes
Privacy invasion of the worst kind — 
But, I caught you though,
looking through my bedroom window
with a telescope
I had a Philip Marlowe 
reconnaissance pro trailing you ...
sweet turn of the table
Let my diamond stylus disgust skip to the end,
this relationship is over ...
It’s time for me to unfriend
Here is some advice I guilt-freely give you: 
Your spying eyes
will never truly let you see inside
the heart of another person
Unconditional trust 
is the only way to ever off-site remotely know
what lay beneath the quilted hidden covers 
of someone else’s soul

Sounds like you had a few bones to pick, Freddie, and done quite well, too. I love the lines, "I had a Philip Marlowe reconnaissance pro trailing you ..." and "Your spying eyes will never truly let you see inside the heart of another person" Very well written.
