Play Me.

I had a sickly chill,
at the mention of your name.
We played each others hearts,
like love was just a game.

I knew how to hurt you,
and you matched my moves as well.
You would sock it to my soul,
and I'd drag you through hell.

I folded my card of jealousy,
you came clean about it all.
We loved with a love that was more than love,
since you tripped me to my fall.

I let you kiss my lips,
when you weren't mine to hold.
You showed me just how much it hurt,
I guess I had to know.

I saw your fingers interlocked,
felt my insides burn.
Every organ in my body twisted,
and you encouraged me to take my turn.

I knew the game was ending,
could tell you could be gone for good....
We shuffled the deck into our favor,
our differences understood.
