I Know Your Game

Like a ghost you're so transparent

Keep up the act but I see right through it

And Like most you're codependent

You keep it hidden but we all knew it

 

Did you really think of me that way

Was I just a piece to play in your game

And did you think I'd have nothing to say

That I'd just lie down and take all the blame

 

Well if you did....you were wrong!

I know why you don't want me to see

So I'd put up with you screaming at me

Come on,tell me,what the fuck did I do

But take the abuse and try to comfort you

 

It seems to me that we're both fed up

I guess we've had enough of this love

I never wanted things to end up like this

I'd much prefer to live in ignorant bliss

 

But it's too late....for that now!

 

You seem to think that life's a buffet

Just an endless supply of drugs to excuse

It's all-you-can-eat every damn day

Living in excess you'll pay for the abuse

 

Did you really think you'd get away

Were you just trying to cover up your shame

And did you think I'd willingly obey

That I'd just do nothing and let it end the same

 

Well if you did....you were wrong!

 

It's too bad you were such a jerk

You treated me just like a little kid

Now it's too late to make this work

I finally know why you did what you did

 

It's not okay

You belong

To no one

 

I know your game

It's so wrong

Now we're done

 

Swallow your shame

Don't belong

You're no fun

 

You know the game

Say so long

Now be gone

This poem was written about a failed relationship. The reason it didn't work was because of his ego, false confidence, and insecurity. His cruelty and carelessness made it impossible for me to feel secure and happy with him. I tried and gave my all but in the end he ruined everything by continuously setting himself back at square one by disrespecting and hurting me. He had basically undone all the good things he'd said or done by making me question if it was even sincere or genuine. Some people are better off alone I guess.They need to wander this Earth pondering all their mistakes and lessons still unlearned. If you want to make a lasting love then you must committ. "Love" cannot stand the test of time nor any other test if there is not honesty and a profound level of commitment. Perhaps we are not all meant for true love and monogamy. Perhaps some of us are better off being single and enjoying life in other ways. I have a new love in my life so I am of course not speaking about myself, but about the people out there that enjoy the single life, polyamory, one night stands, and abstinence. We are all different and should not all try to be the same to fit into the mold society pressures upon us telling us how to be. There is a unique purpose for each individual and we should not feel bad that we are what we are but we must recognize it! Seek yourself out and get to know YOU before you enter a partnership. Perhaps some are meant to be lost or alone and maybe die a sad and undeserved death as a lesson to others to appreciate our lives and how much worse they could be. I don't mean to upset anyone who's had some one special to them die from a murder or suicide but death does have it's purposes and things happen for a reason, or so I believe. My beloved grandmother was taken from me and my family by the depression and illness that drove her over the edge. I wish I knew her but I have learned to cope with loss and accept that whatever happens happens and without a time machine there is no point in regret or negativity and a pessimistic attitude since it only makes things worse. Some people are here to lead by example of what to do and others as what not to do. We may all learn from one another. Even those that some think are inferior. No one is inferior in my mind for we are all one and the same yet all so different and we all have a purpose on this Earth.

    Sad but True...

    but that's life...unfortunately,
    you have a way of opening yourself up, I think it's called transparency; and yet, there is always a very strong message and a deep level of articulating your feelings, it's nice to know that there are some people around who have thier heads firmly on thier shoulders, and thier hearts in the right place
    I hope something really wonderfull happens in your life, you deserve it... you remind me of an earlier me somehow, people used to say that I talk too much, and no-one's listening, well, I guess that all depends on what you're talking about, a lot of people don't want to listen cuz as they say; "the truth hurts"
    Keep talking, keep singing!

    As for the last two lines of your AN, well, I thought I was listening to myself talking...

    Take care
    John

    Pure and Beautiful

    I swear to God I hate technology...I had this whole lengthy, in-depth reply typed up right here and the friggin battery died on me. Sorry, long story short, this piece sums up my past relationship, the abuse being mental confusion, and I pray your new love grows as steadily as mine, strong and blessed, and that you always have rest with that one wonderful person as I do with my Joe. It's astonishing as well as inspiring to me that we have the exact same message for the world from our true sight and experiences. Your author's note has put into words what I've been singing about for almost a year now. The reality that is good/vs/evil in our lives. your final comments virtually mirror my views and I'm glad I entered that crazy contest! Thank you for having the courage to write the way you do.
    All the best to you and your Love.
