Lets Play a Game

One false move,
with one short breath,
opening my soul,
to someone i trust,
telling him all,
that matures to me,
thinking its okay,
we are meant to be.
Not knowing the truth,
that hides behind that smile,
should have known better,
but i was in denial.
His soft sweet lips,
his beautiful eyes,
full of compassion?
NO! full of secrets and lies.
Thought i found love,
my heart is such a fool,
you broke me apart,
that really isn't cool.
I'll move on though,
you cant keep me down,
the bittersweet game of love,
you were just another lost round.
