I could tell you the truth, or I could tell a lie, <br />You wont realise, you don’t look me in the eye, <br />I can make you believe anything I say, <br />I can twist your mind, and make you think my way, <br /> <br />I’ll blind your eyes, hide the truth, <br />Treat you like a child, like a mere youth, <br />Make you do things to make me smile, <br />Mould you when your most vulnerable and volatile, <br />Just keep lying saying its all fine, <br />Hit you with it make you mine, <br /> <br />Grind you down, till you can no long fight, <br />But tell you to get up and push on with all your might, <br />When you slack, I’ll be kind to make you believe, <br />And help along my mission to deceive, <br />I’d even say those three words to get the job done, <br />All this is the name of fun, <br /> <br />Then when you finally trust me, <br />I’ll get you, I’ll summon your heart to thee, <br />Summon your heart forever, take it for my own, <br />Then I’ll leave you manipulated, confused and alone.<br /><br />James Lee Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/manipulated-confused-alone/
