Trickster
how to trick a trickster,
the strength is in the name,
but never bring your heart into it,
or you're sure to lose the game.
step one: prove you care.
catch the trickster in a lie.
show him you are hurt,
dont be afraid to cry.
step two: flaunt the bait.
let him see what you got,
but make him want more,
always leave him hot.
step three: make him hungry.
maybe stay away fro a while.
and as soon as he begins to miss you,
as soon as you take away his smile...
then you move to step four.
give him all you can.
force him to admit his love for you,
and when he least expects it... BAM.
step five: break up.
"it's not you, you see,
it's that other girl you're sleeping with,
and a little bit of me."
so next time that trickster makes his rounds,
he'll be sure to pass my door.
and lets just say, i dont think
he'll be tricking anymore.
