I play this game

Its name is “love”.

I’ve mastered words.

I’ve mastered moves.

But I think they’re catching on.



I found a loophole in the rules

But no one has to know.

My shadowed heart hides the lies.

The fire burns the evidence.



One by one

I’m satisfied.

One by one

I’m loved.



Manipulation of emotions

Creates a messy picture.

But I’ve mastered editing.

I’ve mastered these lies.

But I think it’s falling apart.



Fill each part of me with hope.

A dash of this, a pinch of that.

Fill my loneliness with passion.

But no one has to know the truth.



One by one

I’m satisfied.

One by one

I’m loved.

One by one

I fall apart.
