Charming fraudster, you captured my heart,
my innocence stuck in the web
of Svengali, killing love.
The Fury Road carried
me to safety.
I bloomed once
rid of
you.
**A fraudulent braggadocio person who sadly fooled many with his large personality and false ego, using followers (before social media) and employers, family, and friends up until the end.
