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
