The lights are on but no one's home You don't seem to have a clue You think you are so very deep but the shallowness shines through... Blink twice if you can hear me Your words are meant to mystify to enrapture and infatuaute, consume and leave our souls here to die.... But you don't seem to understand That sometimes simple words are best Stop trying to impress me with your vocabulary just give it all a rest..... Your so called quiet contemplation Is nothing but a thinly veiled ploy You hide by weakly disguised accusations But cleverer tactics you'll need to employ..... I could call your bluff, force you to play your hand I could blast in with confrontation then you'd know for certain where you stand.... But you think you're the spider And I'm supposed to be the fly Did you know your web was tattered? Or that I'd seen through your disguise? Sometimes friends can hurt us they hurt us most speaking the truth While our enemies decieve us with honeyed words and lies mistaken for a truth... So don't violate my intelligence by masquerading as my friend Don't insult my sensibilties Don't start something you can't end..... You pretend to be so intelligent, so harmless , so gracious towards me Did you really think I was that blind Did you really think me that naive?Birth sign: Scorpio
