Con Artist

Like a knight in shining armor You rescued me from a place of somber Eager to know, eager to see A man like you, can it truly be? With your speeches of serenade My loneliness begins to fade Man of chivalry and full of charm Swept me away in your securing arms But soon, I realize behind that breastplate A plague in your heart lies a hideous trait A man in disguise, you hide behind All your destructive intentions and ruthless lies Needed my trust to seal the deal Wisely, you have mastered how I feel A sly expert at the art of deception My heart is now in your possession Impressed, you trained yourself very well A cold heart hidden away, not one could tell You played me like a fool, I really must say But please don’t stop upon my dismay Body and heart I gave; my trust you stole Now it’s time for the next victim to pilfer her soul Quickly you fled; distance at its farthest It seems I fell at the hands of a con artist
