We have played this game, you and I.
It has always come to this, though we both deny.
The things that were said in the moment of heat,
Are far too strong for us to defeat.
They stay with us no matter what
And the life that "We" had is forever smut.
I wish I could take those words away
And go back to where we were I pray.
It’s funny how love turns an atheist to a believer,
You are down on your knees, instantly a griever.
Praying for getting back something that never was yours
Hoping beyond hope, that this will open closed doors.
You ask and wonder cause it has before,
The mirage that was, that you so adore.
The leaving and then coming back together
You just can’t leave with your heart tethered
Knowing fully well that living such lies,
Brought you more joy even through all goodbyes
Cause it was known then as it is now
You will be back together cause your heart won’t allow
For you both to stay apart
New fight of which this would be a start
An endless cycle that went facilely through
Yet made us aware of distance that grew
Now between us we had something more,
Wish it were love, not something we abhor
It’s gone its done the end draws nigh
Oh I hate to say but it’s a last goodbye

"It’s funny how love turns an atheist to a believer"...isn't that just the truth..even though love does lots of other horrific, painful things to our tender little hearts, at least we are shown a poentiality of what CAN be...
"We have played this game, you and I.

Strong words..strong entry..may we all learn from you experience.
