How can you expect me to continue on like this?
If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s the way you act so nonchalant
Did it ever occur to you that I actually care?
That maybe you should have been honest from the beginning.
I can remember when you once said you cared.
You promised you wouldn’t hurt me.
I hate to criticize anyone, but you’re a hypocrite.
I have to remind myself, that it’s just a game.

You won’t believe this, but it still hurts.
Your words stung like the tears on my face.
A funny thing happened, you taught me to not trust.
There will be a short assignment over the weekend, find a heart.
It’s nothing serious, but it’ll do you some good.
I’m a stranger here myself, but when I look at you I find myself.
I have to remind myself, that it’s just a game.


I hate the way you gloat.
If you do that one more time, I’ll tell them your secret.
You get all smug,
like “haha, you fell for my tricks.”
I really shouldn’t tell this to anyone, but I still care.
You’re just a player, and I was just your hand of cards.
I have to remind myself, that it’s just a game.
This was a creative writing assignment. We were given the beginnings of each line and we had to finish them.
