Congratulations
My first Cry Wolf poem, second one on the site, please review! By the way, if anyone has a request for a Cry Wolf fic or poem tell me and I'll do my best to write it!
How can anyone win a game
Where lives are gambled like poker chips
Where all the cards are hidden
Like your masked intentions
Masquerading as something else
An alternative ideal
Behind that mask of tears
Do you feel anything at all?
Gave it all away
To win this game
This horrible game
But you cannot deny
It's something new to try
It's not right
To trade in a life
For a hollow victory
Where do you return?
What you have done
Does it mean anything to you,
Besides another conquest?
Where do you retreat?
When there's blood on your hands
And a knife at your feet
Nothing to hold on to
When your words fall apart in your hands
Knock down another wall
Tear away another paper barrier
Between truth and lies
Makes it all so much easier
Once more I fell
So many useless tries
So I was just a pawn
Than you clenched in your palm
Unknowingly
I obeyed
Still blinded by those lies you tell?
Open up those deceitful eyes
Can you see past that fog?
False tears
Why so sad?
You won the game.
Congratulations
You were unbeatable
Who can defeat
Absolute denial
How can anyone win?
A game they don't know
They're playing
But so many ways
To lose.
