Game

Your poker face had a mask all its own
I couldn't see past the upside down frown
Performing the task of acting alone;
those misleading smiles like some rabid clown
As I paced up and down these empty halls,
you reached out and searched for someone, something
Not realizing you'd built up a wall
between you and me and everything
we had created from love, life and more
Placebo flutters from ego fueled highs
kept you safe behind a solid, locked door
while my patience waned and ran out of time
I may forgive you but I won't forget
the game that you played to lose my respect
