I played the part you wanted of me
I shed those tears that you now see
manipulated, weak, a pawn am I?
Do you believe in the tears I cry?

Your reputation preceded you
Warned, I knew just what to do
I used you as you used me
don’t believe everything you see

I saw the secret smile on your face
as you prepared to leave my place
satisfied you’d inflicted pain
knowing you would do it again

Powerless to stop your game
I let you think I had no shame
but in my heart, I cared no more
for you than for my bedroom door.

The worst punishment I can think of is "not caring". You dished it out well with this poem.

What a shame that it can't always be like that - wonderful work!

BRAVO!!! Sometimes there can be two players in the same game, in this case, both win and indeed both loose
