Mendacious

So you're proud to be gay
why act like a bloke? 

why are you unfaithful, to the one 
you lie, your love remote 

why do you abuse her...beat her 
...torment...control her... 
"adolescent interpret" 

are you so damaged! 

a sexual misfit, anti-social cripple? 

release her, move on, let her love 
flourish 

your love, discouraged incapable of nourish, 

you're not ready to commit- 
you cannot see for the wall- 

you're a victim drowning 
inherited pain- 

this love, you drip feed - guilt love, 
guilt shame...ruining others lives 
your love is not ligit 
...you are worse than a prick! 

are you worthy of a womans' love? 

maybe you should be straight? 
something you need to come to grips 

this love without spark 
very empty very dark 

you're repeating an existence, 
a habit you have no control 
regurgitated behaviour, you must 
let go! 

this rainbow you are riding- 
maybe it is not for you 

for you have a misconception of 
what true love can do! 

this emotional turmoil 
this love you will spoil- 

you are capable of greater things 
mistreatment of a womans'
love is not one 
of these... 

...so step off quickly...
spend time alone...
just you and your soul...

the love of a woman...
is not about control...
