Card Pack Play

Card Pack Play

You should have told me sooner you didn't wish to stay
Not adding more years, as you continued to play
Women are your weakness they fall for your charm
Eyes opened wide I should have listened to bells alarm

To late did I realise your cheating done to me
Plans of being together you would always guarantee
Your lies and games played found, only to be caught
If I had known then I would have left you like a shot

Angry at your contempt and feeling such a fool
Challenged you directly the rows would ensue
Denials and your silence you believed would ebb away
But answers as to why I asked you every day

I'm done, won't be back, lost, gone, forever
Never to be trusted, no happy ever after
Your ego grew manipulated by your selfish ways
Your web of lies more complicated than a mensa maze

No love for you now felt, drowned deep within my tears
The woman I've become is stronger has no fear
Moving on was easy set mind into fifth gear 
Out with friends, having fun, drinking ice cold beer

I heard you still played your cheating lying card 
Faces of many, hidden within your show facade    
you really are a coward, a many coloured chameleon
Way you style words you play talk to the women 

Unknown to them they are your ensuing victims
Cast your charm, fall for you, move on is your system
My heart is healed, forever sealed, no more will be open
Head held high, walk on by, this woman wont be beaten

If I saw you in the street I would smile an say hello
But to me your truly a person I used to know
I will never return I do not seek you back
All are welcome to you I am free from your card pack

If you seek a return for me it will be denied
There is no going back to your created world of lies.

Hello Emilia … time is a villain for these characters. They end up old, broken, lonely and nobody gives two hoots about them. Enjoy yourself and your life Emilia - Lindsay

Emilia, this is Panagiota from across the pond! Welcome to the world of love. There are some honest men and some are "rotters". Won't do us any good to believe the next man will be true and not lie to us. They just do! Women also can be liars. Yes! Some of our best women friends. Arg. Love is a game you have to learn how to play. "you don't have to go looking for love, when it's where you come from"unknown" Soupmail...pls check Panagiota xx

If its non fiction Emelia, you're well rid that's all I can say. Sadly many get stuck in toxic relationships and they cant find a way out. Tom
