Emotions astray, nothing is fair play , Call it love, call it by any name, In today's world its all a game, Game of fake feelings, wounds beyond healing, I'm not being specific to any gender, But I've seen the noblest of souls surrender, And succumb to a player, and take an oath to never again go back there, To the place where you become a prey, And see your heart slowly rip away. So I'm content being aloof, watching this world rot from my roof, Don't know if my prayers would be heard, Or if there's even a point to utter a word. #poetry #poetryisnotdead #originalpoetry #heartbeat #lovehurts #needsolace
