You say there'll be no games this time,
That now you've changed your ways
I'd like to think those words are true,
And trust in what you say
Your voice sounds so sincere right now,
Your blue eyes gazing back at mine
Yet memories of times before
Make me wonder what I'll find,
If I decide to try again
And see just where it goes
Though after all the times before,
The truth is no one knows
It feels we've gone back to the start,
A random game of chance
Should I call your bluff this time,
And go on with the dance?
Or simply just throw in my hand
And slowly walk away
In hopes I'll have a better chance
With someone else one day?

Yes I've been here before myself, good write and shows a lot of heartfelt emotions. She sounds like one of those who want you just for the moment or whenever its convenient for them. She broke your heart once don't let it happen again. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ck,
Yes, that was the reason for writing this, the last verse, for I did walk away from it.
I'm sure your familiar with the old saying, "Fool me once, ...". Yeah, that's how I felt.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Bob,
Yes, I wondered the same thing at the time, thus the final verse, for that is what I did.
It was hard though, cause she was damn cute. -chuckles-

This sounds so much like stuff I'm currently enduring, your 2nd stanza especially. Trust abused is hard in healing. Loved the flow of the poem (as I find I usually do with you poetry hahaha).

Greg, You can never go back, it is just one of the laws in life. It will be different, but everything will be different and things that haven't changed are usually the bads ones. But good luck. Great poem.

I was looking for a different way to express the feelings. And in truth, love often is, or becomes, a game of chance.
