Game of Love -- Make Their Jaw Drop Contest
No one prepares you for the fall
I never knew you grew that tall
When someone warns you of how much they care
Your heart begins to swell and tear
The excitement that someone could be in love with you
And maybe you could care for them too
So you lay awake at night
Trying to put up a fight
Against the feelings that nap just behind your eyelashes
Times goes by and it flashes
There you stand as it passes
With your heart in a pretty box for the masses
It happened without you even realizing what it did
Placed it there and closed the lid,
Your subconscious boxed it
And I involuntarily handed it over,
Before you passed me your heart
You unwrapped the decorations with care And opened the box without a tear
A sneer spread across you face
"Thank you", escaped you lips
As you devoured it
Raw and bloody
I never thought I would be so muddy
I feel so funny
All so empty
It didn’t agree with you stomach
My flesh was rejected from your tormented soul
And here I sit beside the pool of [your] sick
Picking out the remains left
Is there anything of me that can be saved Or is this all part of the twisted game?
It sure as hell wasn’t love.
I don’t know what this would even be called.
No one prepares you for the fall
I never knew you grew that tall
When someone warns you of how much they care
You heart begins to swell and tear
It happened without you even realizing it
You subconscious placed in there.
My own heart.
