I see the betrayal

In your eyes

Every time we're

In the same room

You ignore me

And turn your face away

It pains me

More than I expected

I guess

I became too used

To your bright attention

It makes me wonder

If I could have

Made another choice

But don't forget

That we're just pawns

In this vast

Ongoing

Tiring

Game.

I have no part of this

The jester's game

Has finished

I have not freed you

Or your beloved

As I had promised

Myself

I would do.

I wish I had the ability

To make you

Happy

To see you

Smile

You're far too kind to me.

I don't know

Exactly

When I fell for you

I supposed I

Was curious

In the beginning

You were beautiful.

But

A fool

Such as I

Deserves no one.
