he’s a hoax

a big phony

he can’t be trusted
and he’s *******
for fooling us
this long

he’s evil

he tricked us all

he told us he
loved us but he
can’t really
love can
he?

he’s too smart

he’s too conniving

he knew just what
we were looking for
and gave it us,
he played us like a
game of
chess

he knows it

he’s not stupid

he lives with the
guilt but he deserves
worse than that
for what he
did

he’s a liar

he’s a thief

he came in under
false pretenses and
stole everything he
could

he left

he just left

he couldn’t say anything
except that he couldn’t do
it anymore

he was honest

he was true

he left because
he cared what we
thought and
he knew
he wasn’t good
enough

he’s a hoax

a big phony

he thought he was
one of us

what sham
he was living,
trying to be someone
he wasn’t

(and succeeding
anyway)
