You mess with my mind
You play games with my head
You show up in my life
when you feel like it
but ignore me
when I need you
I’m hopeful
then scared
then angry
then abandoned
I try to connect
to build a relationship
desperate to have
what I have always craved
with you
and when you don’t respond
then I try to let go
try to move on
heal that open wound
and then somehow
you sense it
I am moving on
leaving the game
So you pull me back in
You give me a taste
You pretend to care
You do just enough
before disappearing again
you take
and take
I let you
I keep coming back for more
because
I don’t really know
how to make it stop
how to let go completely
because
that might hurt
even more
than this
