You never seem to care
Boys are just toys
To you
You play them
As if they're fools
Never quite realizing
All the damage
You cause
You run around
Teasing and tempting
Making all the boys
Fall in love with you
Then you drop them
Faster than a hot potato
I see you
The games you play
But I can't watch
So I turn the other way
My blindspot
Allows me to hide
I fear you, for you
Because nothing phases you
I see the boys
Offer you their hearts
I see you smash them
Not quite understanding
How you manage to do it
But you can survive
Thriving on them
As if you are
A cruel seductress
For you my friend
Live to be
The Queen of Hearts.

"The Queen of Hearts" is a VERY appropriate title. I'm actually really caught up on that. The title alone is incredibly clever, and I think it's well deserving of the poem.

The line I liked most was:
"Then you drop them, Faster than a hot potato"

I've never quite read an analogy quite like that, but it was fun!

Sometimes a person can be the cruellest thing you'll ever come across. Just be sure to know what makes them that way, and steer clear of it.

The world is good, and nothing bad ever happens!

I know so many girls like that and like you I can't watch them while they are doing it to another undeserving guy, although I know from personal experience that guys can be the same way.  Nice work

Alright, alright! We can reform, I must also do a little explaining perhaps. It's easier not to care, so we pick guys that we maybe don't really see anything working out with ON PURPOSE. And the reality is, we love attention, and if the guy fails to give it, or seems less focused on wanting us, we're going to try harder. The secret to these women is to do just that- get under their skins and pull a fast one. If she starts to care, and if you start to distance yourself it'll be utterly the most confusing thing for her, point blank. If she has started to care for you just enough-she might even chase YOU. Sorry, when you love someone Iknow it's hard to do, but you have to pull away, let her want you.

Us maneater types can reform, as soon as we figure out why we do it. Not out of hate or spite. Just so that we don't get hurt, it's a protection. And have no fear that the girl like that, she always realizes the hard way.
Great poem.
