Game Over.

Torn and frayed,
I stake my claim.
Leave me unashamed,
I have a name.

Use it,
Use my name,
Use it when you tear me piece by piece.
When you tell others I'm the villain in this twisted game,
The game no one wins but you.

In the past, I thought I've seen it
Pure evil
In its brightest spirit.

But no.
You.
No one compares to you.

I was kind,
I cared for you,
I should've heeded the signs.

You have broken me,
With every word.
I can truly guarantee
You’re the worst I have yet to meet.

Why?
Why me?

Because I cared,
Because I was there?
Because they left and I was next?

You led me on for so long,
How could I have not seen it?

You wanted me,
Piece by piece.
Part by part,
Piece by frayed,
Broken,
Piece.

And you took those pieces and you stuck them on yourself.
You wear them like some sort of medal,
Like I’m a prize you stole,
But never won.

I don’t want to play this game,
I cannot win,
I can only truly lose.
I can only truly lose myself.

I was finally okay,
I was safe.
But you took it,
You took it all away.

And for what?
For what huh?
What did you get out of this?
What kind of happiness did you reach from this?

All the tears,
I cried onto you,
The pity you gave me,
Knowing you were gonna cause so much worse for me.

This sick game,
It's fun for you,
Watching others get hurt.
Watching people go on,
Unassuming,
Just for you to tear them down.

Well,
It's over.
Your round has ended.
Surrender your character and leave the match.

You've broken me,
Frayed me piece by piece,
Torn me part by part
But I can truly assure you.

You have not won this one.

You have not won this round,
I have.
And you're not gonna like that.
But I sure am.

So walk away,
Walk away with the medals of my tears,
And the trophies of my pain.

Walk away,
And understand
You will never walk away with my heart.

Game over.
