The Game

He told me that he loved me.
He promised that he cared.
He said he wanted us to marry,
and that he'd always be there.

He said he'd never lie to me,
that what we had was love so true
He swore he was my baby,
That I was his best friend and lover too.

I took in every word he said
with a smile and twinkling eyes.
I told him if I got hurt again,
that I would slowly die.

The smile was a fake one.
My eyes twinkled from the light.
I really couldn't be hurt again,
for my heart, I refused to fight.
(again)

I know what he was telling me
was nothing but empty lies.
So I repeated them back to him
with fake tears in my eyes.

What he didn't know-

I'm not some little teenager
that's new at the love game.
I just like him am an actor.
My performance worthy of fame.

Yeah he said all the perfect things
that every woman wants to hear.
It's also true that when he held me
there was nothing that I feared.

But that "man" was nothing but trouble,
and I knew it from the start.
So I played his little game
and excelled at playing my part.

Now I've ended the relationship
with nothing but great hope
Our game taught me about myself
and now through anything I can cope.

Please tell me what you think

    It is great to see ya dabbling in the poetry again. I guess this is something most of us have to go through before we finally find the right one for us, and indeed, we do learn and grow from it. At least some of us do. I guess there are those who never learn, or just simply don't care to learn. All of it in the end, I hope, makes us better and wiser people. Nice rhyming and rhythmic qualities here. You did a good job on this. Blessings! Take care! Have a Merry Christmas! Susan

    Beautiful, babe! I'm sorry you've been hurt... no one should have to go through heart-break, but I'm so glad you've learned about yourself through everything. As long as there's a plus! I love you and can't wait to read more from you! Take care and stay strong!
