The Game He Plays
Not only an attention seeker and a pathological liar, but unfaithful too,
Don’t ever believe a man that claims he’ll never do a thing to hurt you.
The words may sound sincere but darling haven’t you been told
That listening to a man who can say exactly what you want to hear
Is not what love is at all but rather a horror story he’s about to unfold.
Listen all you want, but know that words aren’t sincere
Until he proves to you how special you are by treating you like gold
And never igniting the flame of what you shouldn’t have to fear.
Anyone can say ‘I love you’ then leave you disheveled and in tears
Without even regretting the way he they treated you
Or changing in future years.
-t.j.t.
