it was easy for you wasn't it
to wake up refreshed
after everything?
even when the tempest raged
outside her window
and caved her roof in
it was easy to walk away
and pretend you never meant
to say the things you did,
even when at the time your
knowing looks tried to convey
exactly what she read
it was simple for you wasn't it
to wipe your eyes after you cried
if you even cried, did you even cry?
you never thought how hard she'd work
to forget your persuasive words
you didn't even think twice
it was a game to you
to see how quickly you could mold
and how fast she'd let you hold her still,
and you felt you won
when she let you peer in a time
and you thought you knew her well
well enough to cover your tracks
that you revealed anything more
to make her the right amount of confused
but what you never could get
was that she showed you just a bit
and she saw you coming before you ever knew,
she had hoped
it wasn't true,
but in the end
the snake in the grass was you
