Word Games

Did you know I've written so much for you,

long restless nights of words?

Did you know that they were named for you,

in my heart if not in words?

How blind can you be, how stupid you are,

these word games are not what it must be.

But still if you want I can play at my best,

and you be the loser you wanna be.

Did you know that I fight a dozen fights of lies,

with my thoughts my words and hopes?

It's like waiting for the petrichor

when it never rained to be so,

So jaded a person can be.

Thousand of words you could utter and then forget

a thin fragile sigh to the sky.

But these words of mine,

they do speak the truth

and lay passive for a time to turn out right.

Maybe I'm fed up, maybe it's enough,

so the word game will come to an end.

And thus my words, I bid you goodbye

let's stop this struggle we've dealt.
