Not Your Play Thing

they act despicably

knowing full well

what they do wrong

regardless of who it hurts

it's what they want

so why stop

for morality sake

not a question

or a reflected thought

your feelings at stake

but their's are fine

because they're tucked away

or have none

either way, they don't care

they take it anyway

tell you what you want to hear

strumming at your heart

look you in the soul

so long as it's ball in hole

girlfriend? so what?

wife? won't hurt her if she don't know

disrespect her with me

we'll be in this together

then back he goes

happy family, so she thinks

great guy, everyone says

'cept you, hurt and silent

you should have known

he's a jerk, he's a cheat

it's your fault for giving in

men will be men

don't you know by now

it's never about you

it's about them

and what they want

appease them, lick their wounds

listen to their struggle

even though

they won't listen to you

let them be, let them win

it's their game your playing in

and silly you for playing fair

the rules are slighted

you're not his only

player 2

but you must engage

when he wants

to play with you

the rest of the time

mind your life

stay out of his

wait around

for his summon

listen but don't speak

when he shows up

light up, like he just

put a coin in and pushed the button

NO

fuck you and the games you play

I'm unplugged, disengaged
