    Game. Set. Match.

    For a while I was searching
    On a quest
    For answers or
    Reasons or
    Even as much as I didn’t want to find it
    Closure
    I overanalyzed
    Looked for “hidden”
    As in, ya know, made up
    Meanings behind everything you said
    I tried so hard
    Devoted so much of myself
    To making this better
    To making this alright
    To trying to make this not
    Hurt
    But it hurt so much
    And I tried to believe your “heartfelt”
    A.K.A. empty
    Words
    I tried to put faith in “us”
    Although we never really existed
    I had to keep on keepin on
    I needed stability
    Something to hold me up as I “moved on”
    By that I mean stumbled, fell, and hid from the world
    I wasted almost a month of life
    Searching for your heart
    But I never found it
    And I’d probably still be looking
    If I wasn’t for “you”
    Or, you know, the lack thereof
    Thanks for stopping my search
    Letting me know my quest was over
    Telling me that we were over
    Though “telling” may not be the right word
    Cuz ever since our “intimate”
    (Bullshitted)
    Conversation, you haven’t told me anything
    You haven’t said a word to me
    I spent weeks remembering how you looked at me
    Like you were seeing into me
    Well, that’s been pretty much erased
    Replaced
    (Like me)
    Booted by new looks
    Or, ya know, the lack thereof
    Your turning me away tells me
    More than you could ever say
    You obviously know nothing about me
    To think I’d stand by
    Waitin
    While you treated me like nothing
    I’m not that kind of girl
    Come to think of it
    I’m not your kind of girl
    I’m better than that
    I deserve more than that
    Better than you
    And you’ll never even get a taste
    Of my love
    Of my life
    Of my taste
    All that’s left for you
    Is an uncaring face
    You wanna up and leave without a trace
    Well, two can play that game
    (Even if we can’t play this one)
    Would’ve loved you
    Didn’t want to lose you
    But I don’t need you
    I can’t hate you
    But that doesn’t mean I’ll play nice
    Didn’t want to be without you
    But that doesn’t mean you’re untouchable
    (Or irreplaceable)
    Didn’t want to be without you
    But I can be you
    Do what you do
    Act like I don’t see you
    Not let you see me
    When I’m arranged more
    Weakly
    Even if I see you on the weekly
    For your info
    Don’t act like you don’t know
    Boy,
    This game’s over
    I’m out
    It’s done
    I win
    I’m through
    And boy,
    Let me tell you
    You’re the one who’s gonna lose.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
