Slave

Folder: 
Juvenilia

Ha ha ha

The joke's on you

I can act like I'm all pissed off

And I know you'll come running

Blurting apologies

Shedding useless tears

Well, I don't need your crying

But it's kind of a funny spectacle

You are so blind

Begging for forgiveness when

You never did anything!

Ha ha ha

The joke's on you

I can feign the heartache

And you're the one who's really broken

You'd give me your attention in a second

Such a slave, obeying my every whim

Who ever said mind control couldn't be fun?

I control you like you're my own little puppet

And I could toss you away any moment

But you'd still come crawling back

Asking what you did wrong

Well, ha ha ha

The joke's on you

And isn't it such a funny one, too?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was reflecting on someone I know who manipulates anyone to get what she wants.

I can tell you as I read this I became totaly furious. People like that make me want to puke, I know plenty of them, and more than less are my friends. I really liked this poem because it's cool (and so unique) for it to be written from someone other than thew victims POV. Great Job!
