I couldn't resist writing today;
Can't deny it, my heart aches.
Anxiety has me parting my lips;
I'm trying to breathe normally,
While my heart rips.

I tried to run, not wanting to see her,
Before memories dampen my eyes.
But you catch me with a sly smile,
Your taunting eyes, and laughing remind me.

I was only a pawn in your sick game.
