The Game

I have suffered so much heartache,
From confusing love with lust,
After selfish boys and endless games,
I’m more careful with who I trust.

I was a fool to fall so quickly,
For the same repeated act,
Chasing me for a week or two,
But then they all pulled back.

Soon it was far too predictable,
I saw through familiar lies,
It wasn’t just those who hurt me,
But all men that I despised.

I’ve been cold inside for so long,
Building up my guard,
To open up and trust again,
Is proving much too hard.

The others all broke promises,
They were reckless with my heart,
They never really cared for me,
So what sets you apart?
