She's Not a Toy

You played her like new guitar strings,
Distant and rough and senseless,
Not caring what part of her your hands traced
Or what scars you crossed over
As long as you heard a sound

She bit her lip and smiled
Dreaming and falling all at once
Not seeing the snake eyes that landed
When you threw the dice,
But the blue of yours
That she couldn't forget

You said nothing
When she caught you in your lies
When she realized that the words you whispered to her--
at night, alone--
Were meant to cut and tease
That she was only a pretty face
You wanted to add to your collection

By the time she realized
That it was just a game,
The ace was in your pocket
And it was too late
To turn around

She was already a player
And you had already won
"Be careful of that one, love. He will do what it takes to survive."

Well, hopefully I won't make this mistake again. Be careful who you give your heart to. They might not treat it as nicely as you'd like.

Much love, my dear. I'm so sorry. He'll get what he deserves while you are now free to heal and show him that the tables have turned and this time, this time, you'll be the winner. :heart::hug::heart:
