It's The Games You Play

It's The Games You Play

A Poem by Reform69
"

Call me a fool, but this is a true story. *shrug* not much I can do but move forward haha.

"

It’s the games you play

That hurt the most

The physical feeling we shared

Harmless mutual attraction

Until my feelings festered

You sat me down

“We need to talk”

“I just have a physical attraction”

You said, and I relented

Bandaging the festering wound

I moved on, however

Your actions shifted

You became a tick

Clinging to me with desperate need

“We need to talk”

“I have feelings for you”

You said, yet

I brushed you off, believing to have moved on

You wallowed on the ground

And in that moment I realized

My mistake, not a tick

But a ladybug

Bringing me joy

I accepted

And reopened the wound

And for a time we were content

Enjoying where we stood

It wouldn’t last

Your actions shifted once again

Left me in the dark

Blindly groping for something

That was long gone

I was a forgotten toy

An obsolete console

“We need to talk”

“I thought if I ignored you, you would get over it”

You said

I gave a sharp retort, yet

Once again I relented

Bandaging the now infected wound

Looking forward

I put on my Majora’s mask

My precious facade

One of many that I have acquired over time

It’s the games you play

That hurt the most
Because at the end of the day
Im up still thinking about you
