Games, Charades, and Masquerades

This is a poem I wrote back in the mid-1990s, and it's from the point of view of a speaker who sees that a former lover is still up to their cheating ways.


I see you're still playing your little game
You're still hiding behind your masquerade
And you're still playing your little charade
But I think it's time to rain on your parade


I've seen you with someone, making a play
Trying to find all the right things to say
You're already dating someone today
But that doesn't matter to you anyway


I thought you had learned your lesson by now
So it's hard for me to understand how
You can still keep breaking a solemn vow
It's just like you, but I'm surprised anyhow
