The Games You Play
Promises of yesterday
melt like footprints in the snow.
And tears can't wash lies away;
no matter how hard they flow.
Love is a lesson in trust;
yet you don't mean what you say.
Your heart is tethered to lust;
and I'm feeling led astray.
Stoking love's funeral pyre;
doubt turns everything to ash.
And when it gets set on fire,
hope burns within anger's flash.
Time confirms what rumors say,
my life is in a sad state.
Love is more than a cliché,
that you've misused as of late.
You're no longer in control;
I won't play the games you play.
Don't toy with my heart and soul,
damn you; leave and stay away.
