You said you do when actually you don’t!

            You said, “Yes, I will!”, but you didn’t!

You promised you would, then you wouldn’t!

            You swore you could, yet just couldn’t!

Were these half-truths to disarm?

            Your confusion did naught but alarm.

I believed in your words,

Perhaps hoped would be better.

I thought you different,

            But now see you as player.

Why such deception,

            Does serve your heart well?

Will games that you played

            Bring joy to your life,

To cleave another’s dreams,

            By one cut of the knife?

Were the words you spoke,

            In truth mere ploy,

That in the fiction you live,

            I acted your toy?

I remain your friend,

            Please treat me as such.

Treasure what I offer,

            But not make me your crutch.

Open your heart and mind

            True love may be easy to find.
