As I lay on my bed
Contemplating old films
Thinking about the illustriously great old times
Your name flashed up on my phone
Your thoughts flooded my psyche
At that point,
I felt
A million things:
Remorseful and apologetic,
Sure and uncertain,
Fine and broke.
You played me like a game board
A game board you never wanted
You played me for love then
Your eyes held the universe
You entered my bloodstream
you trickled through my veins,
you said we were eternal,
so there I was,
in the name of eternity,
making another mistake.
I clicked on your name,
I gave you the feeling,
the feeling of being wanted.
A predator.
You demanded my soul.
I yearned for your love,
the pain followed.
My sanity betrayed,
I fell for your charm
You were a vicious beast
And I, your prey.
