Master Manipulator, Manipulated

You say what you want to, Take what you want to, Pull affection in , And break it when you want to. A master of masks In each disguise you bask The hot breath collects Beneath smooth plastic And sweet words wind and fall like a hymn From lips so caustic. You bend and twist those around you, Those who've found you. You mold every interaction Exactly how you wish Until it resembles a reality That feeds your satisfaction But if I press where it's bruised, If I twist where you turn, Using words like mace, Pushing you to lose, throwing fuel on the flames where it already burns, Through the light of heated fire... I can see into your naked face No bullshit crafted from fine plastic Just a rich and pungent fury That belies your nature, so drastic That to watch you for too long is purely tragic
