Broken Heart

I don't know why I let you keep doing this to me.
I keep opening this wound and u keep making it bleed.
I've known you for five years,
We've been on and off for three.
I thought you changed because of the things you told me.
But you haven't, its just the game I have already seen.
You tell me you love me
But do u really?
Since the day we had that talk
you just left me hangin' in the dark.
You call me baby,
But its just sweet talk.
You said you wanted to see me since its has been a long time coming.
You even made a promise.
You told me we can be an item if that's what you want to label it.
Now I realize how you just played me

what a deeply emotional piece. as a man even i understand that we sometimes make promises or say things that we should not. i personally haven't but some guys just live to play with the hearts of others. you have a great way of writing out your emotion. i hope that you continue to use that tool.
