Coldhearted Woman

I ask for so little
You refuse to open up your heart
Refuse to let me in

You turned our love into a game
Still think it’s funny
With me as your puppet
Begging you for more

Your heart is cold
Your heart is stone

All I ever wanted from you
Was a smile and a warm word
Acknowledgement you cared
It never came
You turned it to a game
A cruel sadistic game

Your heart is cold
Your heart is stone

LOL - thanks, Judy. This is purely fictional - one of the reasons I used WOMAN in the title. I am married to my prince charming.
