Convenient Man

I was inconveniently waiting 
For your interest to show
But that never came
Should have kept my hope low

You were conveniently using
My time to your standards
As if I was a key
Hanging from your key lanyard 

You only wanted me around
When you wanted my hands
You only needed me to be 
Your convenient man

Conveniently it's not how this works
I'm not just a tool
So what do you take me for
Do I look like a fool

It's a good thing I saw
The ways your wheels worked
So it is very convenient 
I saw not to hurt

You messed up thinking
You can conveniently trick me
You almost succeeded 
The thought is so sickening 

Although conveniently so
I am smarter than you
I saw it coming
And now we are through
