In for the long long con
She knew all along he was perfecting
control
orchestrating the long long con
slow measured steps calculating each breath
leading her on and on
It was a game that he had played
throughout
his entire lifetime
getting away with murdering hearts
no standing trial for his crime
He didn’t even find her attractive
and she knew this
If he didn’t realize this
she found it humorous
A vampire eating away
her self protecting safety sense
A con man a gigolo a shark
prancing pomp
promised pretence
she knew she could
run away from this person
With no regret
no last lingering looks
she would run
