      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m easy to fall for...
Uneasy to fall.
I&#39;m so hard to stand by,
to keep or to call.</p>

<p>I will dress myself in warning signs,
Put a red light flashing,
Have my colours scream poison,
Declare myself a hazard zone.</p>

<p>To keep you unharmed by
My deadly mind
My tongue and my touch
The venom in me...</p>

<p>Still, I call you:
Meet me at the gates
of the gardens of heaven
I&#39;ll take you to see the Void.</p>

<p>Hear, I dare you:
Meet me at the gates,
I&#39;ll keep them unlocked
your free ride to Null is here.</p>

<p>–+-</p>

<p>Third version. The prediction has been ditched, some lines added from ideas in the first version. This time the “you” isn&#39;t left to wait at the gates.</p>

<p>This is going somewhere.</p>
