Paranoia

I have set balustrades as high as my chin
Padded the walls of the room I was in
Tightly hooked every furniture, frame and block
Bolted every knob and chained every lock


My eyes were alert all the time
My ears awoken to the sound of a muted chime
My body was poised in a battle stance
My tongue ready to spit words sharper than a lance


Paranoia conquered every turn that I took
My hands, oh how they uncontrollably shook
I cannot afford my defenses to be down
Despite the fact that I was a freak around town


For I know that as soon as she lays sight on me
Demons of revenge will dance with lustful glee
She will not make haste in strangling my neck
Like turning the table to get better cards in the deck


Slowly she would tie my body and make the kill
An object to be destroyed and disposed at her will
The time I have now to live I will not waste
cause my time to die will not be in painless haste

…HIS VENGEFUL WIFE IS AFTER ME…
