You are like a cancer, <br />And I don't know why, <br />But I've got you under my skin, <br />You creep and slide, <br />Like some relentless bug, <br />Crawling your way, <br />In and out of my life. <br /> <br />You dominate my step, <br />You leave me not knowing, <br />What's next, <br />I don't know where, <br />My secrets are kept, <br />Where I can hide them from you. <br /> <br />Everything you do gets under my skin, <br />For you do not want me to win: <br />You want me to fail, <br />And be a loser like you, <br />You want me to be, <br />A sad and sorry fool, <br />As you act so evil and cruel. <br /> <br />Your heart is empty and cold, <br />And for you, I am too bold, <br />I don't hold back, <br />But your games are twisted, <br />Your jealousy relentless, <br />As you see your failures, <br />And plot with my pain. <br /> <br />No pain, no gain, <br />You are feeling the shame, <br />Of all you are not, <br />And my emotions, <br />Were tangled in a knot, <br />But I see things clearly now, <br />As you seethe with cruelty and evil. <br /> <br />Just be aware of what you do: <br />For what goes around, comes around.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-got-you-under-my-skin/
