Crooked..

It's cold outside, but yet it's hot
as boring as it seems it's not

My eyes are crying tears
for reasons that are shown

A pain is shooting through my chest
but why, I don't know

I sit around everyday
alone in silence 
without a word to say

Listening to music, eases my mind
the place I am at, it's so hard to find

I make an entrance and soon disappear
my mind is stolen, but my body's still there

I look so deep into your eyes as you look into mines
and wonder if your love's for real or maybe I'm just blind

Don't tell me I'm the one for you, don't tell me that your love is true
when so gracefully you said I do, when someone else confronted you

Receiving them and dumping me
was it your lowest cost, or highest fee

Roll the dice and take your chance
I'm smarter now about romance

You may have won the battle, but I sure won the war
what goes around, comes around, that's what you have in store

Monopoly may be the game, you tried so hard to play
but don't ever underestimate me
I'm not naive as they say.

Through our heartaches we grow. I liked the way you used the concept of Monopoly for forward your thoughts. Fitting title. Thank you for sharing your poem with us and for taking time to comment on mine. Keep on writing! Karen
