Incognito

I wrote this about a guy who wasn't who I thought he was. I compared the person I thought he was to a mask, and that's why it's called "Incognito". T

 Stop the masquerading

I know who you really are

      You're a heartless, pathetic player

       With a soul that's cold and dark

     You thought you could win me over

          By calling me a beautiful lady

But at the same time you were a senseless jerk

     I'm sorry, but I don't play that game

       Are you aware of

       All the harm you've done to me

               You were an imposter

        I was blind, but now I can see

                   How do I move on

       When I don't know who to trust

           How am I supposed to live

       It's going to be hard, but I must

Chess and Black jack, these are the two reminders of what you have written. One end tries to guard with slide of hand and shadow, while at the other end of the cards or table is someone who tracks the heart of the cheat. I enjoyed this, hope i find more emotional and real pieces of work.

Reminds of situations where a guy lies to you that he's single.
