On Stage

by Claire Tennant

Honey, you have perfected the game Let’s Pretend

caring for my needs and love extend

you only love yourself it shows on your face

all smiles one minute, but that’s not the case

your eyes shine hatred and in the shadows I see

some evil plan at work set to haunt me

Yes, this love is all for show like an actress on stage

you have learned the script well but haven’t earned the wage

Instead, the Oscar-winning performance given for all to see

can amuse or taunt your audience for free

I have seen it all before kid, there are others like you

having been bitten once I know what to do

the tables will turn and only the wise

will see that the love you offer is all lies

I have my own plans and come what may

you will get caught in your own trap some day
