I think of love as paradise,
But you on the other hand are a parasite,
You take advantage of me,
And I on the other hand give you a chance,
You now know my weaknesses,
So you use them against me.
You blackmail me,
And I let you.
I'm so trustful,
That's what my  bestfriend says,
I trust people so easily,
And get used and heartbroken in the end.
glued in limbo like a stained glass window just waiting for your change of heart but the clock isn't ticking and the air is thick up here as I feel you slipping through my fingers once again
The paparazzi are staked out
For the latest splash trending.
Telephoto lenses focussed
On the door in a non-descript
Neighbourhood.
Eye-Witness copter hoovers,
We are in rhythm with the whirling
Chop-chop
Of breaking news.
Rivetted to our screens.
A door opens to reveal
A dentist
On his way to work,
Wearing alligator shoes
And wollen pants.
We'd hoped to see
A mane boa
Round his neck.
