Said I was done with you but I guess I lied.
Said I moved on but I guess I lied.
Said I wasn't jealous of her but I guess I lied.
Said I feel numb already but I guess I lied.
Said I was done looking for you but I guess I lied.
Said I won't take care of you anymore but I guess I lied.

The only thing I didn't lie about was
my worth. Cause I really do deserve better.

because she built him up so high
that when he looked down from his castle
he realized
he no longer needed her

Funny
I guess this heart
is a parking lot

Sometimes full,
often empty
for every tear
that slides across my face
a smile is preparing
to bloom in it’s place.

You said you wanted to play a round of Sorry,
but that you didn't know the game,
instead you used Pictionary to draw for me,
but every scribbled messaged looked the same.

You said you related to Snakes and Ladders,
I guess because you like to go up and down.
You hope that I fall off and my leg shatters,
and the snakes eat me on the ground.

So go on and roll the dice, pretend to take a chance,
so go on and play nice, I know you've mastered that dance.
We don't need anyone else to play,
the two of us can share the blame.
So what do you say? Let's play another board game.

You suggested next Monopoly, your greed would help you win,
I think you just wanted to beat me, then wanted to rub it in.
I asked if you liked Risk, though strategy was never my strength,
your "no" came out very brisk, you never liked games of length.

You said you would love a round of Battleship,
I guess so you could shoot and bring me down,
watching me sink within my crypt,
right until I reached the ground.

So go on and roll the dice, pretend to take a chance,
we can play the same one twice, you'll keep your winning stance.
We can do it all your way, rules can keep things too tame,
so what do you say? Let's play another board game.

As a child your favourite game was Trouble,
but not because you're a living cliche,
you claim you liked to pop the bubble,
hoping each time it would break away.
