Lovely Games

Inspired by a light skinned boy I used to know that left me in the dust.

He caused me to fall
He changed my views
He taught me a lesson or two
He showed me what's right isn't always true
And the sky isn't always blue
And then he left me here to rue
He left me here to rue the days
That I spent with him falling in love in different ways
And as I changed I hoped it was just a phase
But now he's gone and I remain the same
And all this destruction around me is for me to blame
It was all foreseen so I have no shame
That I lost at playing his lovely game

E.A. Spain, I love your rhythm and rhyme in this piece, it is truly mesmerizing!

Full of twists, painted a lovely picture.

"He showed me what's right isn't always true "
This is by far one of my favorite lines in this entire poem! And it is very true. Things that we see may seem right, at the time in which we are seeing them, but this doesn't make it true.

"He left me here to rue the days
That I spent with him falling in love in different ways "
These two lines are just beautifully written, if I do say so myself.

This here, is what I love the most,
"It was all foreseen so I have no shame
That I lost at playing his lovely game"
Everything happens for a reason, so I do not regret or feel ashamed by what has happened.
But there is a possibility that in your case, maybe you do regret what happened, but then again, maybe not.

Overall, a very beautifully written piece!

Keep writin love, you are good at it.

I relate strongly to this one, "It was all foreseen so I have no shame, that I lost at playing his lovely game." This was a very powerful line! And, "he showed me what's right isn't always true." I find it hard to express the feelings of heartbreak, but you did it very well here.

Something we can all relate to. Heartbreak. I love your last couple of lines, "It was all foreseen so I have no shame that I lost at playing his lovely game." Gives me the feeling that whatever we do is already determined and it's out of our control.
Might just be me, but I had trouble reading it cleanly for the first time however, your message comes across.
