Narcotics perfect dose

The two way mirror, in the back of my eye
Allows me to see through, your ugly disguise.

All shiney and warm you insinuate,
Into my life, like it will not wait.

I allow you to be near, but never close.
Enjoy you like a narcotics perfect dose.

Alone when I met you, alone I remain,
To you I know, it's all the same.

So enjoy the time, that's given to you
Take what's offered, don't be blue.

Your time will come, but not with me,
I wish you well, and the world to see.

this is a very chilling work. i have been in situations where someone is in my life but i know they dont have any empathy for me. i just humoured them and waited til they got bored of me, which they did. it's kind of funny how many people underestimate me. they think the can take me for a ride, but i always keep one foot in and one foot out. while its disturbing, the persona gets the last laugh in this piece. i guess thats as close to a happy ending as things go.

Not sure about last laugh, I didn't intend it to read like that. It's more like"f**k it, I give up". All the fake, easy to see right thru, socially acceptable BULLSHIT, that people throw at me, I used to carefully wade thru the s**t, knowing they all think they have gotten over on me, and not wanting to crush their fragile little spirits, by unleashing the hellhounds (words) on them. But these days, the hounds run wild.

i know that feeling. i used to be a lot more patient around people but i just dont give a F anymore. my hounds run wil and people get bitten and afterwards im kinda glad i did it.

Thank you for that, I just laughed, like I havnt in a while, Because I understand that sentiment and feel it.If I'm going to be honest, I feel it a lot of the time too.I'm still laughing. The hell hounds, for me (words ) when used to defend oneself, are amazing.

The players will play; just be sure one is correct in her estimation and doe not confuse the player for the earnest. Hard to tell these days. I know. Love this penning.

And that is what I was talking about in response to Erns review, I used to spend all this time trying desperately to not make a big mistake. Turns out, it doesn't much matter. Or, that was a clever play on words using our friend Ernestine name.?

[D. Mansfield]

That's a typo Ern is ernest not Ernestine. My phone is now playing on words lol

My experience ... mistakes getter bigger the long we take to acknowledge them ... the quicker we acknowledge the sooner they go away:)
