Living for your twisted amusement
I am taking risk after risk
To be friends like I promised
Help you find happiness
When I was your girl that seemed simple
Had it figured out
Life took the things I knew about you
Replaced them with a load of doubt
It all happened within my reach
I was too slow to turn the tides
Losing all I clutched close to my heart
When I wouldn't loosen my grip time pried
Those who predicted our demise
Lifted their gaze to point and laugh
In that position I realized something
I was meant to grow from this mishap
It was a part of my journey
The truth was made openly clear
Dark clouds loomed over sweet perfection
Horizon no longer smudged by denial and fear
Senses aren't functioning very well
In the center of your games
This place I recognize without hesitation
I sit and strategize methods to break the chains
There is no hand to conquer
Though this chess match was fun
I've learned you never play fair
You just cheat and cheat until you've won

It seems like everyone plays games nowadays
