~*~A Game Of Pain~*~


If I could turn,
your mind into a game.
I would do it,
without any shame.
Because you have played,
many games with my head.
From the way you treat me,
to every word you ever said.
It may be little things,
that you decide to do.
You dont want to feel the pain,
but I know you really do.
You think of it as nothing,
just a bunch of fun.
So what are you gonna do,
when you are left with no one?
One day its gonna happen,
and that day will soon be here.
Till then I suggest you try to act,
as if for once you really do care.

Yeah!!! Great one ERIN! Let her have it!
Do you show her the stuff you write? Maybe that could help... It's amazing how some people just don't realise they hurt others and in the end they're not gonna be the ones who win...
Take Care!

LM~~~No I have never showed her any of the work that I write about her. Its just a waste of my time to show her. But she knows what she does. Seriously she know how it makes me feel. I know that she has also went through my stuff and most likely found the poems so I dont care to show her. Thanks for the reply!! I really appreciate it.

Unfortunatly this sounds like that this could be something written to me from someone...it kinda makes me sad.  But, I've read a couple of your poems now and you have a talent to get your feelings across very well....something I have a lot of trouble with!!  Good work!!!!    Keep it coming...

Go girl!!!  Stand up and purge!    Years of deciphering people has led me to a conclusion.
There are three types of people  
People with souls.
People without souls who think they have them.
And those without souls at all.

People number two, those without souls who think they have them, are the hardest to deal with, they 'believe' all the good about themselves, but it is us who 'sees' the truth.  These people like the ones without souls at all, usually end up alone, or become damned good at hiding from the truth, hiding from us and themselves..
I'm not saying the man this is written about is soulless, I wouldn't dare presume..  But YOU need to find someone with a soul as beautiful as your own..  *hugs* of understanding.

Justbleu~~~This was something I wrote for my "sister". I dont think anyone in the world is as cold hearted as her.

Isis~~~I wish this was about a guy. But its not. This is about the person all of my poems in here are about. My "sister". I have a boyfriend who is the sweetest. I wouldnt ever want to trade him for anything. Hes the one person that helps me get through what she does to me.

Thank yous both so much for the replies. I really appreciate them!

I think this is a fine message.  Direct, upbeat, personal, humorous.  If anyone misinterpreted this I don't understand how or why.  Good Job

Erin sorry it is about your sister and not a guy.  I'm happy you have a sweetie for a boyfriend!!  
I suppose the same rules stand sister, boyfriend or whatever.  But it hurts a lot more being family doesn't it??  Hope it all works out between you two sisters, she needs to re-evaluate her life and fast by the sounds of things.
*hugs*

Isis~~~My boyfriend is the one that helps me through all this. And I love him to death just for being there for me. I am sorry that this couldnt be about a guy. But its not. She has been being nice to me for the past couple days, but thats only cause I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. But thanks for the reply!!
