He Is Using You…
Everybody saw it, but denial ruled the day until she was alone.
I.
Never loved you;
just wanted a fool.
Never loved you;
just wanted someone to do.
II.
He made you a fool alright
for his jester's delight.
Love-bombed you
To keep you up at night.
III.
Now you ache at night
for his useless sight.
Now you’re whipped
by his manipulating plight.
IV.
You’ve been fooled
You’ve been overruled.
You were conned
believing you'd been bejeweled.
V.
He doesn’t love you
Just out using you.
All those silly words
just rotted through.
VI.
He used his words
like tasty curds.
In truth he had you caged
like unsuspecting birds.
VII.
Can’t you see
his devil’s glee?
You're falling for it
Like dead leaves from a tree.
VIII.
He wasn’t out for you
for his love wasn’t true.
He knew you didn’t see
the devastating clue.
IX.
So now, all alone,
sitting on your lonely throne.
He left you,
and all you can do is groan.
X.
The warnings were there,
stripped bare.
But you refused to see,
now you sit next to an empty chair.
