Why do people do it?
Playing with your head.
It's beyond cruel
and hateful,
rips your insides,
leaves them dead.

Emotions up, then
battered down.
Hopes alive, they
quickly die.
Thoughts in turmoil,
constant frown.

Are you muddled?
Or just unkind?
Is your head a mess?
Do you see the chaos
you wreak?
Would it matter?
Do you mind?

I'm struggling badly,
with the words you said.
I guess I'll never
understand.
Why people think it's alright,
to play games
with your head?
