Poetry: Full circle

by Mandy Moore

And it's sad, but true
I enjoy wasting you
Watching you fade with the night
I corrode your soul
Like you tried with my body
As it turns

I'm everything you wanted to be
But Better
I play the game you tried to run
But more clever

It's demure how you demand me
Standing bare in the hallway
"Baby, let loose, just for tonight"
Famous last words
I'll tear you apart
Delicately
Leave you standing
Momentarily
You'll collapse
Like all the girls before me
Too bad you never saw this coming

I'm everything you wanted to be
But Better
I play the game you tried to run
But more clever

You never thought
I'd spin it around
Turn it around
That this would come full circle
I avenge the legions of girls
Too weak to resist
Your "charm"

I'm everything you wanted to be
But Better
I play the game you tried to run
But more clever
