You know you hold it <br />The key to my heart <br />And that gives you the power <br />To keep us together <br />Or hold us apart <br /> <br />You pull me in close <br />Show me that you’re the one <br />You act like you love me <br />Show the great man you’ve become <br /> <br />But then the next moment <br />Your blowing me off, <br />Pushing me away <br />The hurtful and mean things <br />That you begin to say <br /> <br />The tears start to fall <br />You say there’s others on the side <br />To whom you can run <br />Once our love subsides <br /> <br />And right when I’m over this <br />And have built the strength to leave <br />You show your care and love <br />And again my heart you retrieve <br /> <br />With flowers and candy <br />You say all the right words <br />I stay, though I know I should go <br />This patterns become absurd <br /> <br />Oh these games that you play <br />And the pain that they cause <br />Is far too unbearable <br />For me not to withdrawal <br /> <br />But you have me hypnotized <br />Bound by this endless pattern <br />I am unable to leave <br />Although I wish I could scatter <br /> <br />You’ll keep playing these games <br />Because you know you can’t lose <br />However my love is slowly fading <br />so it’s either this game or my love, <br />YOU choose<br /><br />Brianna Trombley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-games-you-play/
