Have You No Shame

Have You No Shame?

17.11.14

Showered with compliments

Beautiful, cute, sexy, perfect

All the comments

And all you do is smile, that's how you react

Have you no shame?

Playing with a persons feelings

Juggling the thoughts running through their head

Scrambling the emotions in their heart

Bringing up their hopes

Only to know that it's impossible

Only to know that "this" 

What you have, it's improbable

The empty void in yourself

You wanted to fill it with acceptance

That you've never had

That maybe.

Just maybe. 

This was the perfect chance.

No,

It wasn't.

This isn't right

Now you're writing 

After you've been up all night

Finally rationalizing

The feelings you've put in that deep dark hole

It's all artificial

Now you're digging and digging

Like a goddamn mole

Trying to salvage whatever sanity you have left

Only now the void is bigger,

Deeper and blacker 

And it's embedded itself on the insides of your chest.

Filled with regret

Remorseful

All you do is apologize 

To the poor soul you've just hurt

Tell them you're sorry

Tell them what you've finally realized

But now it's all too late

The vase is broken

The wires have snapped

Maybe you should have just said thank you

Stopped at that

You bit off more than you could chew

Both your feelings, trampled like a mat

Have you no shame?

Put down the cards

Throw away the dice

This is it, it's your final game
