some like to say

it's the name of the game

toss your hopes to the stars

watch them fall like asteroids encased in flame


one and the same,

lovers and losers

nobody ever wins

unless you're the one causing the bruises


manipulate their minds

before they get the chance

don't become the victim

that's your one simple task


tragically common

love and loss

ever since we were young

that's all that's been awaiting us


painfully pungent

ruthless by design

though not everyone is this way

hollow hearts once broken don't realign


holes in your heart

sewn closer by pretty faces

silly ones with simple dreams

you'll someday heal from what time erases


step over the cracks

lovers and losers

 lost too easily in the pretty of pain

not even gold and blue bruises help you see your abusers


lovers and losers

pulses speed without reason

hold me closer in the horror of winter

don't feel the cold-just see the beauty of the season
