Mind Games by Tammy Bartholomew
Mind games
Played so well
Consuming lives
Others in hell
Our minds crazy
Waiting the next move
Out playing the other
What will they do
By the phone
A call or text
Read the unknown
What will happen next
Take others feelings
Make them our own
Become someone else
Sitting all alone
Surrounded by people
We think we knew
Willing to trust
Bare our sole to
Family and friends
Choosing a side
Betrayal and trust
To someone who’s lied
Unproductive
Minds pounding
Blood pressure rising
Everything mounting
A drug
We need to survive
Asking ourselves
Will I still be alive
Much are we fed
That’s not true
Might have been the creator
Between me and you
Eating thoughts
In our head
If not careful
Ending up dead
