Mind Games

i just lost the game

I saw the truth in my dreams.

You fed me a lot of what I wanted to hear

I wasn't looking for you, you sought out for me.

From a distance I'm free

... but that look makes me weak.

Consuming me whole, I just want to breathe.

Your armour masks the intentions beneath

Fluently wording your next lead

... my heart skips a beat.

In this game you're a cheat.

Knowing how I feel, you keep planting the seed.

And again,

I'm down on my knees.

And I wonder,

why you picked to play me.

Ah, those treacherous mind games! War guerillas planting seeds. Seems like a gaslighting of some kind has happened. You’ve expressed your feelings well and some interesting word choices...I particularly like the line, ‘tie armour masks the intention beneath’ well done!
