The Manipulator

She looked like an angel who could do no wrong,
Loved by everyone she met,
She was able to fool those around her,
But not me,
For I knew her for the monster, she was on the inside.

She could destroy your reputation in a minute,
Her speciality was to blame the victim,
And everyone would take her side without a second thought,
After this happened a few times, I felt horrible,
My first experience of hatred.

There were nights I would close my eyes and see her,
Smiling wickedly at me,
Already making up her next excuse to earn pitty,
How I despised her,
By the time I wanted to cut my ties, she had moved on,
Leaving me with a horrible emotion that still haunts me.
