It's funny (but not really), all the games you play.
You smooth everything over, think you know just what to say.
Would you ever even suspect that anyone might be on to you?
Your ego is clearly convinced you're just too good at what you do.
The sweet words are just charming lies,
to keep them close to you on all sides.
Saying what you know they each want to hear,
and whatever else it takes, you do without fear.
Are you really so arrogant as to be so naive?
You're too good to get caught, and that none will leave?
Telling them all the same old story;
you lonely, sensitive guy, with your hidden self glory.
Too bad you are not really sensitive at all.
You're selfish and those you "love" are the ones to take the fall,
if they ever care to figure out just what it is you do.
Or maybe the tainted fantasies are suitable to all of you.
I'm a dreamer, I'll freely admit, so please don't get me wrong;
I was taken at first, by your words, but it didn't take me long.
I've learned so much about you and your sad, pathetic ways.
I was once hurt deeply by you, but I'm stronger than in those days.
You always had an answer, everytime I called you out;
so confident in your abilities, you had cast away self doubt.
I put it all together and you still wouldn't admit you were caught;
Others may choose to be played by you, but I absolutely will not.
I haven't remained blind or stupid, but I'm sure you will not see.
I learn fast, and I react, when I know someone is playing me.
I'm onto you, for awhile now, but of course you do not know.
Oh look, here you are calling now, I guess I better go...
You should know, but you won't, I've been playing your game.
Laughing vengefully, behind your back, putting your tactics to shame.
You're stupid if you think I could actually fall in love with you;
but I do feel kind of sorry for the ones that think they do.
"Hey sweetie, yes I know, I really miss you too."
Not one of those words from my mouth has any bit of truth.
"I'm so sorry you had a bad day, what has you so sad?"
I would have been so good to you, maybe the best you ever had.

I'd hate to get on your bad side.
This was a very emotion-filled poem. The meter and rhyme is a bit off throughout the poem, but it's really good still! I especially liked the way you had him 'call you' while you were writing the poem, and you tied in what you were saying to him into the poem. It was really interesting.
I'm sorry I haven't been on here in ages. I hope you're doing well, and having an amazing year!

All too familiar
Yes, you have put into words a character that so many of us have dealt with before. The gender does not matter, it is the common characteristics of people like this, totally self-loathing and fearful of the world. Alas, to play the game is a waste of energy, and all that will ever come of it is more hurt and anger.
You captured the essence very well. You are obviously a very perceptive person and you seem to pick up on vibes quite well. Well written piece. Reminded me of an ex-girlfriend of mine, no matter how many times I caught her out, there was always a story, and then another story. needless to say that it did not last long. Anyway, enough rambling. I connected nicely with your words. Good one.
May your heart guide your footsteps.

a good piece of poetry penned, ah the games of love, they take us and break us but at the same time can make us stronger and open our eyes for future craziness which might pop into our view.

wow
U made me hate this person with a passion..lol. Great writing though. Very strong and emotional. I was pulled into this with extreme force... loved it!

Outstanding
Sooo Good

CRRRRRRRRZZY GOOD.
YOUR CRAZZZY good at writing you know. CRAZY. Like....I can almost relate to this a sense of "ALMOST" because i think fate just trips me out a little sometimes...I'd explain further but i have no idea how. LOL. Oh this was so goodly, and greatly, and wonderfully written, like all your poetry of course. And I love how it was so plotful, like you were scheming against him the whole time. HAHAHA. And the end was interesting.
OH, and the beginning made me laugh, thats probably how i would start off one of my poems to tell your butty the truth. AH!
I HOPE YOUR WELL AND DOING WELL.
Cause i think, I THINK, and have many rights to believe that I am. Its strange, but i guess when life gives ya milk, ya pet the cow.
hahahahaha aWOOOT!

I know this person or did at one time in my life. I love where you took this and the ending is wickedly strong.
Nicely done.

I can absolutely relate to this... hahaha. It's put very well and clearly. There is someone I wish I could say this to... but he'd probably go sit in the mud for the rest of eternity if I do. Lol. Seriously. People like that are not worth anyone's time. That may sound mean, but they really do have the ability to rise above the crap they're in, and no matter how much you help them, they have to see it themselves or they can't be helped, and if they are helped anyway, they'll be living off of you for the rest of their life because you'd be their 'saviour'.
Hehe.. that sounded all bitter.
Well, just wanted to spout that out.
Somehow I feel I know where this poem came from

I'm actually quite pleased with it personally? Wow, I could almost feel the shots that this poem took at its intended target while at the same time standing tall in the fact that I could really relate to this piece. It was great in the way that it conveyed where you were and where you are now. These types of poems, whether personal at the time or not, always seem to have the effect of emotional release.
For some reason, I really love writing poems about this concept, so it should be of no surprise that I enjoyed this.
Great work!
