the game

by Antwan Fields - Aries

nothings fine, nothings right, nothing i can do to win
the game has been played upon me, i am now embarrassed to be the recipient of game, and you played me perfectly. 
checkmate, in a state of complete understanding
and i knew you in the biblical sense
you had no intention of ever seeing me again
that's all i was to you,  A QUICK FUCK??!!
well, little boy, im sorry you got attached
im sorry, but i'm with somebody
the game is forever, the players are temporary
i assume that i sing like a canary
and pity myself, much as i enjoy feeling sorry for myself
i can't do it, i feel that life is pressing me down
the game is ready, its time to play
and i don't even get to have my say
pages of my diary yellowed and crumbling from years of disuse,tiring of losing so i become a recluse
even if we just go through the motions, the result is the same
you and i are still playing this played-out game
its natural to want to be the one
but that becomes unreal with the fall of the sun.
