Game Over

You're making such sweet promises
And it all sounds so good
You're telling me to trust you
I just don't know if I could

I don't want to fall for you
Cos' love only makes me cry
And I can't bring myself to trust you
Cos' the truth keeps turning into lies

Part of me thinks you mean it
And that part tells me to let you in
But I can hear another voice whisper
"It'st just the same old game again."

"Trust me" is nothing but a phrase
Because love's become a game
I'm losing to sweet sounding lies
And your words all sound the same

I've played this out so many times
It starts so right but ends so wrong
But it's my fault for believing it all
And letting the game go on

This time I call game over
I'm not playing anymore
Cos' after the last one broke my heart
I slammed and locked the door.

So flash your smile another way
Cos' I ain't fallin hard again
I know your words are well rehearsed
And I just can't let you in

Please tell me what you think

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    Beautiful and marvilous work of art. It stirs the heart in many ways and it shows us that to most people love is just another game. To those that it matters to love isn't a game it's a great and glorious feeling and it will last forever.

    God Bless,
    Matt.

    sometimes we have to referee and blow the whistle on those we thought cared about the rules of the game, a very bittersweet but educational write here, and i am sorry for your loss.~~~Artis

    truely the way so many feel.you did a good job showing the pain and how when one breaks someones heart it is so hard to heal.I hope that again the doors become unlocked and again find hope.They are not all bad you only have to weed out the ones you know are not the right type of person.I like your backround and the title related well with your sorrow and anger at those who only lie to get what they want.
