“MIND GAMES”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Listening when you speak,
loving words what I hear…
Not the same, as your actions,
they were always too clear…

Trickery is what I know,
my feelings don’t lie…
Words cheap, which you told,
you wonder, why I said goodbye…

Not sure why you played this,
it only killed the flames…
Just destroying the years,
with all your mind games…

Killing the flames pretty much says it all.
What once was a roaring fire to be stroked and kindled,
burns down to embers and all that is left turns to ashes.

Everything and everyone needs to be cared for if it matters at all.

Nicely done Bill Charles~

(big hugggsssssss) Such sadness fills these words, sweet friend, feelings are always sincere and true, but words can be deceiving indeed. (sigh) I hope that now you have found true joy that can feel for you, sweet friend, you deserve the greatest happiness always! God Bless You! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

*sigh* my heart goes out to you, Bill....Mind Games are something I know a lot about having had them played on me my whole life....that is why honesty is so important when you love someone. **big big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Mind games really can tear a relationship apart when one person gets tired of playing.
Very well said Bill! (hugs)

Bill darling boy this is outstanding writing, rarely do I find such a gem this is a jewel shining with wisdom and much insight. Truly marvellous writing, don’t ever ever stop you are getting better hourly.

Please continue to do so, not that you haven’t always been good but your writing these days seems more focussed and stronger somehow.

Shine on and keep writing please

So can lies, and cheating ruin a good relationship. Usually mind games start after someone has been terribly hurt and rejection sets in.

Yes, well done B.C.  A perfect depiction of a relationship's worst bi-product!
