Charm Attack
A fool I am this is true
For being the one who fell for you
Falling so hard without a safety net
Hitting rock bottom, still waging this bet
Charming and dashing; charismatic too
Not seeing the person who was really you
Masked behind a smile and those pretty eyes
A perfect display of horrors able to disguise
Proclaiming to be a man who never did exist
Plotting your scheme; you’re unable to resist
Bad boy persona women are immediately drawn to
I was the chosen one out of the many surrounding you
But now I know the truth and honor I do not feel
I’m returning this gift immediately so I can start to heal
I do not wish to exchange it or get my “money” back
Keep it for the next prey who’ll welcome this charm attack
