The Same Deceptive Man (sonnet)

You think I will forget with just a word
Or two from you that come ten years too late.
Your logic and reality's absurd.
I'm not that easy to manipulate.
Go right ahead and tell me that I'm hot,
How beautiful I am, I just don't care.
You tell me that you're sorry, but you're not.
Your words and deeds still say to me: "BEWARE!"
You haven't changed a bit, it's plain to see.
Your web of lies just tangles wider still.
You think that you still have a hold on me.
You don't, and praise the Lord, you never will.
Your alligator tears aren't fooling me.
The same deceptive man you'll always be.
