It's like a game of poker.
Your parents would be disappointed, but won't you play one more round with me?
We'll play the cards we are dealt and the winner can take all.
There will be no need for any lies or tricks, a fair game is all I want.
You've been dealt the Queen of Hearts and I the Ace of Death.
Who will come out on top?
Let us play and find out.

Our lives have been like a chess game.
You took the first move and started off aggressively.
I played the more layed back approach to study my opponent.
I got caught up in my own game and you swooped in and stool my queen.
My pawn is racing toward the other end of the board, hoping to bring her back.
Will I be able to take out your king?

Your mom whispers in your ear to beware and watch out for me, but she hasnt liked me since the moment I captured your knight.
Now I have you in check.
It's your move, will you keep playing or do you give up now?

I read your words over and over.
I wonder if you still mean them a month later.
Do you still feel the way you did or was it just a sudden flash of feelings that appeared and is now gone?  
Tell me, where are you at?

You left me for him because he is more fun,
But you still come to me with your problems because you can't talk to him about them.
You say I'm the only one you can tell because I'm the only one who cares.

Somehow this doesn't make sense to me.

You go months without talking to me,
Months that feel like years.
I long to hear your voice.
Then out of the blue,
I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing your name,
Could this really be true?
I thought I was dreaming,
I had to be.
You wouldn't really be talking to me.

You tell me you're depressed,
But no one else knows.
You don't talk about that stuff with him.
But why don't you?
You expect me to still be your emotional support?
You're the one who left me. Remember?

So you can't talk to him about how you feel.
What else do you keep from him?
Does he know your history?
Does he know your little secrets?
Does he know your fears,
Your unwillingness to forgive yourself,
Your perfect imperfections?

How could you be in love with someone
When you can't even tell them how you feel?
I'm not quite sure.
Maybe I really don't know what love is all about.
And just like a stone dropped in the ocean, you disappeared again, without a word. The best of luck to you, you smart-alex. You clever pig.

You txted me out of the blue.
I don't know where it came from.
And at the time,
I didn't care.
But now I wonder,
What was the reason that brought about this action?
Why o you only seem to want to talk to me when you need something?
Am I here only for your use?
I told you I will always do anything to help,
And I will.
But why don't you try sticking around this time,
After things get better.
Justin Case Apr 2015
Hey.
How have you been?
It's been forever since we've talked,
But not due to a lack of me trying.
I bet he told you not to talk to me.
I bet your mom told you to stay away.
Am I really that bad of a person?

I miss our talks.
I wonder how you're doing.
I long for the only person who ever understood me,
Even more than I understood myself.

And since you refuse to acknowledge my existence,
I'm stuck writing to a screen,
Writing meaningless words to nothing,
Words you will never hear or see,
Words that nobody else understands,
Just words...
