My Companion

We have talked about many things
Of rubies, and Sapphires, and diamond rings
You have been with me through thick and thin
Managed to keep me within my skin

We have travelled to different lands
Shaken many famous hands
Made fun of many people
Women, girls, covered in treacle

We created a bond so strong
But now it feels so wrong
For now you want me all to yourself
You get mad, even when I just want to be my myself

Yes, it has been fun
But alas! alone I must now run
So, before I go mad, or wind up dead
Please, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Food for thought

He is a working guy, humble, but secretly thinks he is a superhero. He wears a cape in his house and a suit at the office. She is a very spiritual being. Too spiritual, in fact, that she sees demons when she's alone. He is a happily married man, but secretly longs for the love of his life, the woman he did not end up marrying. She smiles at everyone at work, but secretly feels alone, thinks of just ending it all. He is a charming young man, good with the ladies, but constantly thinks about killing every member of his family. She is a respectable woman in society, in her forties. But she has sexual fantasies about her neighbour's fourteen-year-old son. He walks and laughs with his fellow students. But when they get to class, he plans to shoot them all.

Never presume to know what the other person is thinking. The mind is a special thing. What's on YOUR mind?
