The Cruel Game (Poem)

The Cruel Game

I feel it deep inside.
I hear it in every sound.
You see it in my eyes, 
But you just look at the ground.
I thought I knew what it was.
I thought it would last forever.
As every second passes,
I wish I was with you more.
I can’t bear to be alone.
I can’t stand all of the pain.
I’m swimming in an ocean,
No land in sight.
Just dark waters as far as my eyes can reach.
I call out your name
And ask you to rescue me.
Your ears are deaf to my voice.
You don’t hear the breaking of my heart.
I feel myself being pulled downward.
Down to my death.
The water fills my lungs,
The darkness fills my heart.
I wish for the end,
But keep falling to the depths.
I want it to be over,
But it never even got started.
The only noise I hear is my own heart being shattered.
I wish you were with me,
That you’d never let me go.
That we’d be together for eternity,
That nobody would tell us no.
I reach out for your hand,
I call out your name,
Nobody is listening,
Love can be such a cruel game.
