Gambling with hearts

Phony
Not real
Fiction
Fairy tail
Naive

Ears filled with sweet nothings
So many things said and heard
So many things falling on the floor
Lies, eyes, & clothes

Moments that meant nothing
Stolen moments for both
One lies & one believes
tongues become the platforms for all the lies
Seems to be made for that
But hurts every time one lands

Glances that lasted a second too long
Made to seem like something but this obviously isn’t a fairy tail
Going to the casino to gamble with a handful of hearts
Pretending to be something you’re not
Like asking a one night stand for their name on the way out the door
To validate the intimacy or invalidate it all

Smile, look back, & say a different name
It doesn’t matter what your name is or what you did
After our feelings are hurt
We might think we’re being punished, but no.
We’re just being played.
