Let's Play A Game |
It starts with an unknowing game of pretend Let's pretend I love you Let's pretend I will never hurt you Let's pretend you can trust me It moves into a blind game of make-believe Let's make-believe you are my possession Let's make-believe you will never leave me Let's make-believe that you are not a child It turns into a dreaded game of Life Let's live like we are married Le'ts live like it's not incest Let's live like it is the best thing for you It changes to a game of Risk Let's risk getting caught Let's risk hurting our family Let's risk your innocence Now it's a horrible game of Monopoly I want it ALL You can NEVER have what you want It will NEVER end It goes to a game of Chance You will not chance going out You will not chance having a normal life You will not chance my suicide or your mothers' It slowly blurs into a game of Scrabble The letters do not form words Nothing adds up Everything is a jumble Now it is a wild game of Poker I can bluff you I know how you will react I know what you will and won't do Finally it's a bleeding game of Sorry Sorry only for getting caught Sorry for your mistake in thinking it was wrong Sorry that my reputation is ruined and I can't teach because of you Just so you know, we WILL play one more game.....It's called "I WIN!" |
