the scam

by Antwan Fields - Aries

he told me he wanted to see me again
i was glowing and said "okay"
and i haven't seen him since
the scam has been set
he made me, his pet
for an hour, a lovely hour
my legs were locked in that position
the scam was run and i turned
the little boy was burned
a spotlight shone upon me
they wondered why i was smiling
i got set up royally,
and then, he spoiled me
gave me, all that i could handle
and i lie alone
it dawned on me
he wasn't going to call me
and i called for my friend to see
alone at home i sleep
wishing i were somewhere else
even in the nighttime i wonder
whats going on asunder
along halsted street 
and my foot becomes fleet
before it goes to sleep
and i have fallen victim to the scam.
