The Game

I guess we all know the game
The rules apply
To everyone the same
We aim
To play it clean without us breaking
Still open to whatever is waiting
Us in the blind
Once I was a soldier
Leaned on no one’s shoulder
Kept my guard
It wasn’t hard
But then he stumbled on me
My walls crumbled before him
I was homing
And without knowing
Disarmed by the killer
He wore such a divine disguise
Disarmed by the killer
The universe shone through his eyes
And he made me trust
It all felt just so right
So, when he pulled the plug on love
I died
I guess we all suffer the same
The ones who fail
To recognize the game
We blame
Ourselves for seeing none of the signs
So mad we failed to read between the lines
To not confide
Once I was a soldier
Leaned on no one’s shoulder
Kept my guard
It wasn’t hard
But then he stumbled on me
My walls crumbled before him
I was homing
And without knowing
Disarmed by the killer
He wore such a divine disguise
Disarmed by the killer
The universe shone through his eyes
And he made me trust
It all felt just so right
So, when he pulled the plug on love
I died
