Word Games She Played

I used to be poetic but they’ve taken that away.

“You had me from the first hello. I love you; I need you. Please don’t ever let go.”

I said “I love you too and will never leave you”, then she had nothing nice to say.

Magical memories made. Then she wanders away.

“Your love is fake; it isn’t real. Get out of my life”

How is that supposed to make a man feel?

So friends we are but “stay off of my page. I don’t like you & I have nothing to say” are the only words I hear from a love once held so dear.

So here I sit, all alone. Feeling lost although I’m home.

Searching endlessly for the right words to say.

Licking my wounds to face another battle along the way.

“You’re weird. you’re boring”, keeps ringing in my ears.

Scared of the darkness. Scared of the light. No way to shake these endless fears.

Break a good man down; just to build another man up.

“You had me from the first hello. I love you; I need you. Please don’t ever let go.”

Magical memories made. Then she wanders away,

And there’s nothing left to say.
