Christopher

You came to my door
And right from the start
You lied and you cheated
- A perfected art

You told all your stories
Of troubles and woes
Were building a web
For those did not know

You where good with your tales
Of things you could do
You built up a trust
Of people to use

You caused so much anguish
And never did care
You lied for the money
And never heard pray

You destroyed so much trust here
And left such a mess
You stole and you cheated
And you know the rest

You ripped me off big time
I’ll never forget
You left me with hardship
I can’t even rest.

Your name burns on my brain 
And thoughts are like stone
I’ll bury you now
Along with old bones

I checked this one out because my youngest son is Christopher. I'm glad he doesn't have the same qualities as this guy. Vince
