I Know Who You Are Now

      by Michelle (Milan) Parsons

  
I know who you are now
     you are not what you pretend to be
One face for the world
     and another face just for me
 
I know what you have done
     who you hurt and why
All a shiny façade
     of bitterness and lies
 
I hear the words you say
     but the feelings don’t come through
It all sounds a bit rehearsed
     and too contrite to be true
 
I wonder what your motive is
     why now and not before
There must be something for you
    a deal, a payout or more
 
Don’t ask us for forgiveness
     the cut is way too deep
You played us all like a fiddle
     while we bowed and scraped at your feet
 
Do you ever think of others
Will you reap what you have sown
Will Karma ever chase your back
     while others look with scorn
 
Or will the truth set you free
Will decency be your motto
Will you now live a virtuous life  
     with this new love you admire
