How you play’d

Games

With me

You think I’m,
playing,
Games.
I’m not.
Not anymore.
The only game I played was the
relationship,
we were in.
Two years
I fought,
so badly to win.
For you to become,
the man I needed to have.
I fought for you,
I fought with you,
I fought for us.
Just,
in that order.
Going in and out
of trances of,
anger
happiness
sadness
Wanting you to align, (needing you to)
align with me,
My values,
My heart,
My family,
My friends,
My world.
But I guess,
in the end,
you won,
like you always win,
Games.
