The games we (don't) play

Stop playing games
neither of us shall win.
I don't really have the time
Nor care about in the least
To fulfill your lustful dreams.

You are only searching
For a new prey to chase.
A pristine trophy to hang
On the wall behind your bed.

But I refuse to engage.
I've already seen your moves.
Good overture, if I may,
But the follow up, such a mess.

This gambit, I've learned by now.
The sequence seared inside my brain.
But I'm bored of this rigged game.
Let us settle, and part ways.
