Love games



Let's admit love is a  battling game
Where every battle is a loss
For whom he feels and shows his pain
And lets his feelings come across

Amidst the games
A woman once
felt that her power was preyed;
She tried to shield, conceal her loss
To hide herself from looking wane

She said: I could just if I chose
Abuse so many men like toys
That look like you and act like you
Darn I can find so many boys
You're nothing special for me
A game that's easily replaced
A fire that burns evenly and weak
That cannot even spark the flames

And so she went, to meet the men
That didn't even looked like boys
They were so vague and so cliche
They weren't fun like other toys;
'' Noone can give her what she needs''
Whispers her loneliness at nights
Her words so tame, they rhymed so weak
She knew from first it wasn't right

To let her fear conceive her soul
To make her pain grow immense
To let her thirst for win absorb
Her feelings and her mind and hence
To lose it all
The spark, the flames
To make them vanish in the breeze
And now the void that's in her veins
Allows the pain to plant his seeds
And when it pours and when it rains
The fire ignites their love deranged
