Goodbye Tail

He’s a charmer.

Oh, this I know.

All a facade

You’ll soon find.

All for show

No substance beneath

Sure, he’ll spin lovely tales,

Weave lies with such ease.

He’ll smile and deceive.

Kiss away every tear

While twisting the knife in your spine

And behaving like an absolute swine.

He’ll hold your tear-stained gaze

As he lies, completely unfazed.

He’s a man of many faces.

A chameleon to his core

Who exists inside is anyone’s guess.

Deception, manipulation, gaslighting, betrayal

He does all these as if in jest.

Like whoring around is his life’s only quest.

Follow the broken hearts. He’s left a substantial trail

When will it stop?

My guess is with the death of his tail

For it seems that’s the only brain on that male.

Perhaps an alternative lobotomy is in order?

Maybe it’ll reduce his ego by a quarter.
