Never Trust A Man With Sly Eyes
Does your so-called honesty
only lead to tribulation?
Honestly,
life without you
makes me feel nothing
but blissful vindication-
indication of all the time
you stole out from under
me.
I was blind not to see
the slyness hidden
behind your eyes.
And my foolishness nearly
led to an early demise.
But if you're a fox,
I'm a wolf with a howl
that will deafen the ears
of any predator around.
You couldn't catch me
with your clever ways.
This isn't the first time
that I've been betrayed.
You made a mistake by
counting your knives. It
gave me several minutes
to cut you with mine.
I start with your throat,
and you sink to the floor.
The next time you want to
leave someone, just walk
out the door.
