A poem about manipulation
Charmed and mesmerized you easily
not sure how you ended up in this position
he hints to nudge you in the right direction
moving forward at least according to his plan
taking drastic measures when needed
he’ll pretend to be interested, pretend to care
about your hopes, cheer you on in your dreams
just long enough to distract you from noticing
he’s changed your GPS when you weren’t looking
like the sneaky, sly…
