faux

i can see your pattern
i can anticipate your (re)actions
i can follow your process

you never knew what i went through
what i had to endure, still do
just know this, i can see through

you

and because i can, i can move you
like a pawn on the board, like a tool
i know how you can be used
yet you think i'm the fool

i will set up barriers to confound you
to trap you, to enwrap you
for what have i to loose
this was your path to choose

to see the flicker of realization
the dilation of a pupil
the slightest twitch of the skin on your face
the electricity that surrounds you
thoughts rearranging
compensation
caution, relation

i hope you comprehend the fear that i now want for you
not just a show
let the dread flow through your veins
hormonal, emotional
stage after stage after stage

let me relish
let me regret
let me release my pent up rage
from a life you don't want

but you
just now
should guage what you have woken
my precious token
