The Psychological Kind (Poetry)

Enjoy it whilst you can, Love

You do an AWFUL lot of snooping

And it's quite distasteful

What is mine is mine, and your attempts humorously shameful

Have the humility to make it a clean break, 'love'.

I'm far moved on, and that rock's cleared

Obstructive, intrusive, abusive

But I'm no fool and I won't fall twice

Have the decency to leave before they throw you out, 'love'.

I make my own way up, not dirty the backs of others

With the soles of your shoes

But of course; sweeping it beneath the carpet is what you do best

You're as fake as the lips of a whore

You're a fool and nothing more

A manipulator of words

Will always end up worse

So enjoy it whilst you can, 'love'.
