forewarned

i tried to warn you
that you were playing
a dangerous game
one that i could play
much better
but you wouldn't listen
and now
that you see how easily
i can twist
them round my finger;
how quickly
your own friends
might stab you in the back;
now you know
how dangerous the game
can be
and how amusing it is
that now
your loyalty
knows no bounds
your devotion
knows no end
such a pity
that you had
to push me
into showing you
the possibilities
