The Game

I ripped you apart and played with you

You were in pain and I paid no heed

You cried to stop, I lied that I will

Yet I continued my little mind games

You bore with me, I continued my deed

We shuddered together, we cried in vain

With no one to listen, no one to care

We consoled each other, was there a choice?

Sitting through the darkness of the night

We waited for the dawn to break

Sitting through the daylight and people

We waited for the night to fall

There was no place to run or hide

For this is where it all began with me and you

With no desire to live on and no guts to die

Love sounding so mythical, people sounding cynical

Trust escaped through the window, nothing more left

Nobody promised it would be fair and smooth

Here begins a struggle between you and me

To love and trust again, to smile and cherish again

Here begins the wrangle between you and me

To travel through faith and love again

Here begins a new life where I will treat you right

For you are more important now and so is love

Here we begin the game again

A bit more prudent now and a bit more heedful!
