Twisted Game of Love's Decay

Deep exhalations
cold clammy skin
disheveled and unraveled
this twisted game begins
to tweak the mind the object is
to silence the thoughts that creep within
of want and hate and trust and such
to bend the rod that strikes so much
this twisted game of love and lies
of uttered promises in disguise
this game of cat and mouse we play
this ruse we nourish day by day
until veneer begins to decay
we forever remain
in this twisted game
