Dangerous Game



I hope you understand the consequences of your actions!
I'm bottling up,
Your deception has earned a reaction.
My heart is slipping into a very dark place!
Does this give you any satisfaction?
I sit back and contemplate,
How did I let this happen!?

I continue to cling on to pieces of hope,
Do I help you get through your pain?
Or do I let my mind and heart become darker and more broke?
Your decisions are sketchy,
Destroying your mind and soul,
I'm here I told you that my friend,
I refuse to let go!

You're self destruction will be your end!
Please stop and think,
This is an attempt to show I care,
To be real,
No Manipulation,
Real friendship ,
Family, a best friend!

If a man has false confidence,
Decided to step out of line, and they're not put into place.
Who's fault is it what happens?
You chose to play a dangerous game!

Infatuation, flattery, a new feeling to help your sanity.
Someone taking advantage of you,
You can't see beyond your ego,
They're taking advantage of your vanity!

Please I beg you please!!!!
Stop this dangerous game please!
You're breaking our heart,
You are safe with us, safe with me!
But I'll defend and fight back,
If someone steps out of line.
I can promise you this,
You're safe,
You'll remain fine.
Your mind isn’t right,
Inside I hold in my spiritual cries!

The question is,
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE?
