Swagger Masquerade

Yea, I was in a bad mood when I wrote this one… but it felt good to get it out of my system…

Swagger Masquerade

the gifted writer

your poetry wooed her

prose and promises kept her

ripe for me to pluck.

the jilted cheater

turned spin doctor for love

from social… lite… weights.

careful now…

your unrequited love lingers noticeably

as you relish in your newfound glory

because she… will never be… her.

resigned to second

your woman pales in comparison

to your true love lost.

internet whore

how insatiable

must your reality be

that lead you to a webbed fantasy.

an online world

intricately weaved with

false bravado

delicately laced with

delusions of grandeur…

catching unsuspecting innocents

with sexy sentiments

and sweet nothings…

and believe me… they are nothing…

because the void still exists.

ah, but this time will be different, right?

you forgot that

you cannot change your stripes…

tiger…

even with Photoshop

and a new Net address.

but I digress…

you have written me into her life

and your pen still drips with marauding jealousy

while your inner child throws temper tantrums

because I fit your shoes better than you ever could.

why me over you?

it is because you live

vicariously through me

and you don’t even realize it.

for those who can…

do.

those who can’t…

write

about it.
