Just one more composition, and your presence fades away,
One more stanza, and you are part of history’s array.
One more phrase, and I break free from your sway,
One more rhyme, and I am liberated, no longer your prey.
You arrived with words so sweet, a deceptive serenade,
Enchanting verses, a linguistic masquerade.
How did I succumb to the trap you laid?
Once strong, now entangled, a mistake I have made.
One more step, and I raise the blockade,
Another motion, boundaries carefully laid.
One more action, and memories start to fade,
You, a mere echo in the silence that is played.
Disguised as a friend, your motives were concealed,
Seeking help, I responded, your stories revealed.
The weight you gave, making my strength yield,
Yet, I wish the truth to her could be unsealed.
She, too, a victim, unaware of your game,
The writing on the wall, clear but not the same.
One more check of my timeline, and you lose your claim,
Friend requests sent, and you vanish without a name.
I gave, poured my resources, tried to save,
Yet you chose to repay with actions depraved.
Karma, find your place, justice crave,
May she see through your act, her heart to save.
Manipulator, scammer, falsely innocent,
Your words, a potent spell, leaving many spent.
Rhymes and verses, a perilous descent,
I will watch as awareness dawns, your influence to prevent.
Stay in your lane, let sanity persist,
Ignoring your presence, a wise twist.
One more move, and you cease to exist,
Just one more, and you are a chapter dismissed.
