Chance meeting
moments fleeting
I actually believed you were different than the rest
seems I was duped, you only showed me the side of you that's the best
instant attraction
constant distraction
I put you up so high on this pedestal and wouldn't nor couldn't foresee
shattered in a million pieces
but when you did, I picked up the pieces and tried to glue them back together
thinking they'd stick through any kind of weather
However, I quickly learned
I'd get burned
it was always about you
leaving me to play the part of the fool
until one day recently I realized
this hot and cold banter was taking up too much of my precious time
and I wonder how many others fell under your spell
well?
you always had something to say
but I never could tell if you were real or if you were fake
and I'm sorry but you see I'm worth much more than this
my existence
isn't dependent on you anymore
why should I keep opening the door
when you won't do the same
it all seems clear to me now
it was all just a game.
