Long Road to Nowhere (Poetry)

You think you think
You hate me, you hate you
And it would please me now, too
To hate you, hate you
Make it easy now to
Hate you, hate you
We've both trodded that road
The long road to nowhere
Cos it won't, it won't work
I saw it, I show it,
You know you wanna know it.

And here it is:
Your beautiful poetry,
It is nothing til you see,
The truth behind your lies.
And what a shoddy disguise,
The blood staining your eyes.

Your eyes
Your eyes

I can see you.
So is it true,
That you can't see me.

You can,
but do you? Understand?
When I say a man is a man.

And take my hand.

Can you hear me?
Do you hear me?

And a man is man.
No word or deed can,
Confuse what I understand,
Because I have a real plan.

Did you go anywhere,
Coz I'm still standing here.
Though we took great care,
Did we take the long road to nowhere
