a face tattooed would be one way to detect the camouflage, if only it were so easy... alas far too many find out only after the damage is done and hearts broken (even if the diet has worked)... it's a powerful poem done with the soft touch of reality right in his face and then a confident tone of defiance and verve with a song of sparkle... it has to feel great to be able to breath again KL...

They say we are what we eat... that includes when we feed on the negativity of others... tis better to starve for love then be poisoned by a tainted heart.
Tired of fakes. A shame it takes so long for true colors to shine, or for someone to tire of someone else's BS, lies and double lives. Nice way to express a very painful situation.
It would be easy to change the gender on this one. There are those kind of people. Nice one.

Very creative! I'm following your story vividly even tho some of it is written in a symbolic way. Love the play on words with "fatigued" and "camoflauge" . . . Oh how many I've also been drawn in by! Why couldn't I see so clearly as you've spelled it all out here!???! *smile*

Looking back it's easy to find the holes in the story, but while you are in the moment, you can really miss it. To be fair, though, at least some try in the beginning, but their true nature comes out. That's why it's best to know up front, just what's under that suit.:)
I like the opening verse. It describes so many both male and female who camouflage their intentions. Hunters.

Both sides can be very disingenuous, purporting to be something they are not, liking things they don't. Probably best to meet at a venue where you are both doing something you actually like, or just move all that b.s. out of the way and cut to the chase. If you like, you like, if you don't, you leave.
love the diet part at the end...and i am always leery of suits...too polished---and the tie usually doesn't match the disposition or intention.

like on a hunt
totally catching you
but only to fire
powerful
that these titles and roles can
soften us to allow the enemy in
always dressed like sheep, wolves of the worst kind
