Obvious Emotion

What is this emotion?
Is this fear of contamination?
I can't cope with her
Mentally or Emotionally
She's threatening
What's left from her mingling
Her continuing
She wants me to let her in
Like hell, it's not good
She can blame me
I'm innocent and
I bless her black little heart

Jealous?
Of an Internet affair?
Of a girl who can't let go of someone else's man?
And has to get in one way or another?
Anger?
At not knowing?
At not being considered?
Fury?
At being taken for a fool?
At manipulative poems?
Indignation?
At the gall of it all?
At her aims and their stupidity?
Wistfulness?
For the little that was there before?
Life before a curse?

In intend to turn
Your biggest, darkest curse
Into one huge blessing
One way or another
You've opened my eyes
And for that I can only be thankful

And if you say you're just friends
Perhaps you should tell friend
And stop manipulating him
Like you're manipulating me
Because though he says his eyes are wide open
I know what you can do
And I know what you're doing
And if you think you're going to live downstairs
That ain't gonna happen, honey
Someone will have to move on first
Before you have your fun by the sea
And it won't be me
And stop sending lusty SMSs
To my husband's mobile
In the middle of the night
Intended for my friend
About how you're so horny
I hope some guy that you see in the street
That you ask for a serving
Gives it to you
So that you can be appeased

And for heaven's sake
Wipe that innocent look off your face

And since I don't bother talking to you
When you phone - though friend has his own phone
I go straight and get friend
You choose not to understand
Something as simple as 'hello'
To whom did you explain things?
Or don't you understand
That everything's been explained already
I've made a decision
And for now I'm prepared to stand by it
Through thick and thin,
Come hell or high water
Until I know that between US
Because of who he is and I am
And nothing to do with you
That there is nothing worth waiting for
Take that line as a message for your heart
