muted. muffled. manufactured.

Watching your eyes shift around the room, I see what your soul NEEDS.

A gift or a curse it may be.

Either way,

I know you.

Maternal. mournful. meager.

Feeling your insecurities as my own, I use my love to pick your pocket.

Surprise,

You don't know me.

Malicious. mad. mediocre.

Smelling the fear all over your tired body,

Did you really think

You knew me?

Manipulating. menacing. malignant.

I can taste the defeat on your weakened tongue, as I kiss away your last bit of self.

I know you.
