Mmeso Inspires: The Barricade

Why do you keep playing with my heart as kids play with toys,

Aria,

For long, you keep me standing in front of your door,

Must you be heartless?

I will be patient you know…

Because I have ulterior motives,

I will continue acting like a fool,

Until you enter into my web.

I travelled from East to West,

I travelled all the way from North to south,

And all you could do was to ignore me,

You further instructed your servants to throw me out of your place,

I bore all this, Aria.

Because what I will do is imprinted in my heart,

Let me catch you first.

When you poured me salty water,

When you call me names and laugh silly at me with your ugly pals,

I endured them all because I know you will surely come around,

And I will pay you back in double.

Whenever I feel like giving up on you,

I remember those horrible times you pointed at my shoes,

And your pretty troublesome face as well,

And I will hold on,

I will keep on holding on, Aria

Until I see you wriggling in my web, a delicious prey.

You said you cannot stoop so low,

Soon you will condescend Aria,

Because I won’t give up easily,

I will see to the end of it.

I know you will come around someday.

Wait!

Is that ring on your finger?

Oh my!
