Miho Nozaka

~~~

I'm faint

Standing here waiting

Late and hating

Where's the men I've been baiting

Or is it just fate

~~

He'll be around

Floundering

With fumbled promises found

While I watch for other prizes

It won't be long before he realizes

That I'm searching for something else

Questing on the way down

~~

But for now, on his soul I'll dance

Asking for a second chance

It's the challenge I play

Not with cards, but with hearts

Cooling their passions with mind over what matters

Each defeat brought in a different way

Leaving their fantasies in tatters

~~

And I'm a skillful player

I distract my opponent with their hopes of a look

Booking their chances, waiting in line

For a possibility of taking back what's now mine

Yet I can cast them away

Save their affections for another day

As they keep trying to win back the hearts that I took

~~

There's really no need for my latest

Not greatest

Opponent in love

He'll get but a taste and then

I'll send him off down to the other pawns in my soul

Fame isn't my method

Neither is it my goal

The queen of hearts wins every game

But the crushes they have on me all look the same

~~

Because I'm guiltless

I'm not harming

Charming them with the illusion of my delicacy

They never see my felacy

All the better for my game plan

If they find me disarming

Then I'm just closer to yet another victory

~~

I know in the end he'll pain

His love will wane and I'll be free

To test out the limits of my new strategy

On other opponents in the darkest of places

A new challenge met in stormy-eyed faces

I'll be there to play him too

I'll defeat him and make him see

My own decieving graces...
