12. i moved through the tunnel of love, with spikes coming in through the sides
i moved through the tunnel of love, with spikes coming in through the sides, the moment the first spike came down through the wall, i thought, there it is jagging my t-shirt, & then that ripped, & then i was running through that darkness, often quite happily & oblivious, i didn't expect another spike to come down so soon, by the time i got to the end of that tunnel of love my t-shirt was in tatters, so i took it off & ran into the sun topless, now if i was to repeat this pattern, i would be fifty percent responsible, for feeding your dysfunctional behaviour, your tunnel of love was spiked leona, like the cheap way one would spike a drink in order to rip one off, oh well, at least i can say that i moved on, & that none of the spikes were the same, i learnt from each lesson anew, now if i were to go back to you, because you keep pestering me, it would be like running backwards through a dangerous place, for now all the spikes have been withdrawn, but the walls are crumbly where they've been, i can't trust you & i am not a fool, why would i want to turn around & go running back through that lonely old tunnel all over again?, especially when i enjoy being out in the sun on my own |
