Ballad of the Drama Queen

Not so long ago your heart was irreparably broken You didn’t want to hear his name spoken Your misery was so all-consuming - And you were full of dooming and glooming - That the threat of self-harm was bandied about Just for attention, of that I have no doubt. Yet here we are just a few weeks down the line It seems to me that you’re doing perfectly fine Professing yet more undying adoration To the object of your latest infatuation. I’ll give it a couple of months at best Until he works out that you’re an unbearable pest And like those before him (me included) He’ll realise that you are emotionally deluded He won’t want you clinging on like a limpet He’ll be wanting, quickly as possible, to forget That had the misfortune to learn your name And became embroiled in your sick game Because a stupid game is all it is to you It’s the way you work; it’s what you do. You create drama in your sad and empty life And engineer all the stress and strife To garner all the sympathy you can get Whilst painting him as the worst one yet Oh, the pain, the hurt the misery! It wasn't how it was supposed to be... Until the next unsuspecting guy comes into view To be zeroed-in on by predatory you. Then the whole charade will start again once more But your game is tiresome and you’re a bore. There’s a chance that one day the tide will turn And that you will finally come to learn That love and relationships are a two-way street And that you will somehow, someday meet Someone who will refuse to play by your twisted rules Just to end up on your List of Fools. To see beyond your artifice and manipulations And develop for you true and strong emotions It may come to pass, who can tell Meanwhile you’ll put through hell. Your latest beau has yet to experience The depth and extent of your malevolence When you take umbrage at an imagined slight And manufacture yet another fight. It’s not down to me to save him from his fate Besides it’s probably already too late But, what the heck, he’s made his bed He’s believed everything you said. You’ve dug your claws in, good and fast Which guarantees that this relationship will not last!
