Game Over

You stepped up to the plate
And you stole my heart
With our first kiss
You knocked it out of the park

Your first error came 
In the top of  the second
But I gave forgiveness
And considered it a lesson

The next one happened
In the stretch of the seventh
Should of forfeited then
But you promised me heaven

Now it’s bottom of the ninth
And the count is full
My pitching’s on fire
And I won’t take is easy on you

It’s three strikes you’re out
And you went down looking
I put it over the plate
But that ball was cooking

Now it’s game over
For the user and abuser
Yea, its game over
And you are the loser
