I See You
I see you
quite clearly
sneaking up on me
acting with bravado
like a desperado
smiling oh so earnestly
trying to steal the best of me
I see you
I see through your fake apology
your badly disguised masked misology
your wickedness
your viciousness
your favor to maliciousness
asking for my dying trust
but we’ll never be an ‘us’
I see you
fooling someone else again
lying about where you’ve been
begging them to let you in
pleading for another chance
trapping them in love’s blind trance
I see you
getting old and weak one day
no one caring what you say
living in the slow lane
dealing with your own pain
just a shadow of a shallow man
without a clue or backup plan
karma finally cashing you out
I see you…
nothing left to care about
