Games We Play That's Not Ok
Sometimes we all do and say
Things that hurtfully betray
Those we should never dismiss
When did it come down to this
Making us pain those who care
It's not moral, nice or fair
To see tears in someones eyes
From the awful long lived lies
Coming out more and more evil
As we play this devils deal
Never leaving us alone
Turning our hearts into stone
Causing us to be more brutal
To resist is just plain futul
Once it grabs on and sticks in
There's no turning back again
Even the sweetest and kindest
Person can't run==they will find it
Bubbling up strong and deep
Inch by inch it starts to creep
From their inner darkest soul
Losing your sense of control
This evil will penetrate
It takes over and can't wait
To cause more trouble and chaos
Loving every time it takes us
To a place we know is wrong
But the powers much too strong
To avoid the hurt once more
And watch another sad tear
Start to fall and re-appear
On the painful faces of
Those we care about and love
