Nothing will get me
I will not fall for
all the right moves
false promises
orchestrated smooth talk
silky silver tongue designed
to get me
on your good side.
I know your smile's agenda
The way you sneak
your way in
slither into the hearts of women
with sentiment
I will not fall for it
It is a means to an end
that left unchecked
could mean the end
of me
Your fabricated gestures
are there to impress me
Your bright personality
and sense of humor
a coat you wear in my presence
and quickly hang on the hook
when I leave the room
I ask not what about me
inspires this
What makes you fight
to be better than you are
I am in control
My heart and mind happily
in check
So I will never have to know
the you
behind the mask
