The hangman

byPoeticallyPersonified©

It's interesting enough how this all begins,
With innocence I hide my intentions under the guise of wanting a friend,

I get to know you, I smile, I'll give you enough to become enraptured.
So much so that you won't even know you are captured.

You're calling and texting me trying to help our friendship grow.
I give you just enough attention to ensure you don't want to go.

Because I am everything you want wrapped up in a pretty package.
All you have to do is have the courage to unwrap it.

A friend? Someone who finds you interesting? That's what everyone wants.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out or some kind of savant.

Don't you like what you see? Aren't I beautiful?
I laugh as I say you have no clue what I will do to you.

I'll give you everything you ever wanted on a silver platter.
You're so caught up in me you never once thought of what I was after.

Don't I make you feel good? Don't I make you smile?
If you give me what I need, I'll be sure to stick around for awhile.

You're interesting to me, I think we really connect.
I'm definitely not ready to leave you just yet.

Your life, what's important, that can just wait.
All you need in the world is me, don't I make you feel great.

Don't think too deep or try to measure my words.
Because at the first sight I'll run and say this ish is for the birds.

Yea I know sometimes my actions and words don't line up.
And I know sometimes I can do stuff that's kinda fucked up.

But I'm here now, I'm back and I'm making you feel good.
Don't over think or analyze things you know you should.

I've gotten everything I wanted, I got what I need.
Even when I leave you won't know you've been deceived.

It's not you its me, I just don't have time right now to be a good friend.
I know we had a good time, I'm going to miss you man.

We part amicably on good terms just in case I need you again.
I know if I come back you'll still think I'm a good friend.

I laugh at you now. I read you like a book.
You were just another dumb catfish who fell for my hook.
