Today's prompt is really fun: Taylor Swift has released a new double album titled "The Tortured Poets Department." In recognition of this occasion, Merriam-Webster put together a list of ten words from Taylor Swift songs. Select one these words, and write a poem that uses the word as its title. elegy

in Machiavellian fashion
wearing a plain cardigan
you played your cards well
pretending to be self-effacing
rather than the two-faced bastard you really are
your descent into altruism was short-lived
as your true self quickly reemerged
your mercurial masquerades seemed incandescent
but your candle flared and extinguished itself
our clandestine relationship was destined to be antithetical
unethical candy as it was
i wore you around my neck like an albatross
but now that you're finally gone
i know what i'll say at your funeral
