What were you thinking when you told me good-bye? You don't love me anymore! Could that have been in your mind? Now you've come back crying asking me to take you in Well, honey, I'm sorry but I won't play that game again 'cause it's too late my tears won't fall anymore I wiped them all away when you walked out that door You're telling me you're sorry and you want to try once more but now it's too late my tears won't fall anymore You ran to another saying we can't make it work Well, I'm here to tell you my pride's not all you hurt You broke my heart into pieces like so many times before So now it's too late I won't play that game anymore Jeffrey  |

Thank you guys. This piece was inspired by a friends relationship and what I told him he should do. I could feel his pain and I told him to stop playing that same old game with this girl. Just my opinion Jeffrey |

I've laid myself before you, And you walked all over me. You ask me now to lay back down, As if my heart won't bleed. You think I am unfeeling? You think I have no heart? You think I am a masochist, That you can tear apart? You saw me not as a friend, You saw me as a playing tool. Hurt me once, shame on you, Hurt me twice, I am the fool. Hmmm..this kind of took on a life of it's own...lol. There could be much more to it if I took the time but I have to leave it at this.  Sorry Jeffrey. |

I think you did a fabulous job with this poem..its almost as if you wrote it for me. To her it seems that it was only a game to play..an opportunity to play around..to me pain and hurt and sorrow and a brokenheart...what kind of game is that...and who could stand to keep playing that game...how many heartbreakings can one person live thru.
