No Longer Love

the love you had was really lust

you just couldn’t believe or trust

in me and all the things I said

your careless words plucked from your head

and written down in my life’s blood

they cut me open and released a flood

of hurt and pain I thought were no more

but it seems I sell my heart just like a whore

who deals in mind and not in body

the blueprints for my soul were just a bit shoddy

and I no longer wish to be

anything other than just me

I don’t want to be a hapless pawn

in the game of love or to be drawn

into another and let down my guard

and then discover that I’ve been played like a card

a card in the hands of a most cunning player

the one who is also an unknowing slayer

the one who killed my heart and soul

the one who tore in me a hole

the one for whom I would gladly die

just so she wouldn’t have to cry

but it seems that im not wanted

it seems ill be forever haunted

by the game you played with me

it opened my eyes and let me see

that not all that is said is true

and with this poem I bid you adieu
