a few steps away is a man that i don’t care for

he can be manipulative, controlling and deceitful

shows little care for the feelings or concerns of others

and his tone can be razor sharp and cut to the bone

somehow he always shows up at the worst times

it’s all i can do to counter his attempts at causing chaos and disruption

he seems harmless at first until he gains your trust and then he leads

lambs to the slaughter

beware of this man, as careful as i am

you see that man is the other side of me
