I watch you sashay through the crowd
You are the envy of all men
Who will you choose tonight
Amongst this bevy of women

Your arrogance is unnerving
And so false is your charm
But that won't stop the lovelies
From jostling for your arm

Grinning like a Cheshire cat
Who has just got the cream
They don't see past your facade
But I see right in between

You are the centre of attention
And your ego is well fed
They hang off your every word
By their hearts they are lead

Such a smooth operator
But as slippery as an eel
Who will be your next victim
Whose heart will you steal

Self centred and insincere
You're far from the perfect catch
But if I'm not mistaken
I think you've finally met your match

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

I hope I'm not going to disappoint anyone here when I say that this was a purely fictitious write and not written from personal experience.

Thank you so much for your lovely replies.

Take care........Sue
