The brilliant magician

You almost had me

Waving that wand seductively from side to side

With such effortless finesse

Always in tantalizing dress

So dangerously hypnotic

Magnetized by the way it pulled me in

Of majestic intention

Oh how you flowed with such elegant deception

But you were always the consummate performer

And I your willing supporter

A connection of natural selection

With our future so well in order

The brilliant magician

You almost had me

A master of your craft

We laughed

Baffling how one could feign a pledge of endless love

Knowing the pain it leaves in its aftermath

A Broadway show seemingly finished before it started

An act only to be attempted by the best of the black hearted

The brilliant magician

You almost had me

So many adoring fans

And they admired you more with every trick you turned

But the way that one fan sang your praises

He said you were the greatest magician he’d ever known

And for that he would have gladly parted with his wages

Unknowing of my own investment

He boasted

And there I stood

As he promised me you were that good

I guess your act never ceases to amaze, it’s

What made you such a wizard

I’ve never been so injured in all my days

The brilliant magician

You almost had me

The way you shined on the biggest stages

And for your final performance

In what would be your greatest achievement

Waving that wand for a final time

Abracadabra!

It was a disappearing act for the ages
