A Game of Hearts

Come in

Sit down

Don’t leave

Roll up your sleeves

We’re going to play a game

Free of claim

Blunder and blame

We’ll have a blast

And some laughs

Share the lust and ease

While making our memories

A little affection

To alleviate the isolation

When it ends

We’ll remain friends

Now, here’s the fun part

So, listen up

The game continues on

For far too long

I’ll grow close to you

You’ll push away when I do

I’ll realize the way we are

Is exactly what I’m looking for

I’ll get lost in your eyes

Fixating on what you deny

I’ll speak openly

When your lips freeze

I’ll raise the stakes and strive

To make visible what you hide

Many talks of pulling the reigns

Giving into us time and time again

I will fall

While you stall

I will break

And make you quake

The sad part

I feel it in my heart

I see it in your eyes

Still you hide

The buzzing in my ears

They tell me your fears

They speak what you speak

But not to me

It was real and unrestricted

Variant and explicit

What a goddamn shame

It could have been great

You’ll never let it be

Never give into me

Forced to let it go

Can’t hold onto hope

Unclench my grip

And let you slip

I’m just so displaced

I try to replace your face

With his lips

And hers

With her hips

And his

Senseless kiss

After senseless kiss

It’s still your lips I miss

And so, you sit at the bottom

Of every last bottle

As I sip the last drip

Trying to forget

I need my fix

No saving grace

Lust to taste

Few words it takes

To shatter my strength

I can’t

I can’t be yours to break

Stay strong

Even if it’s wrong

Even if it feels fake

It will eventually dissipate
