“The Game”
by Derek Felix

It was all a game
She was using me
Driving me mad insane
Teased into a state of misery

Just couldn’t get past that smile
Hypnotized by her precious charms
Like Jimi Hendrix waxing Voodoo Child
Thinking it would do no harm

Little did I know what it was all about
Just an endless game I could never win
Lost in a maze without any clout
Leaving Flex drunk off tonic and gin

Every time our eyes met you lit up the sky
Teasing and flirting the whole damn time
And all I was tripping damn you so fly
You could inspire any dude to rhyme

If I could just have you I’d go insane
Tension rising heart racing melting like ice
I’d wait all night in the pouring rain
Hoping to be together and watch the sunlight rise

Ya had that magic sparkle in your eyes
Always twinkling a little extra for me
When I stared deep down they could never lie
Just like that you were my fantasy

The one and only who’d make sweet dreams come true
Bumping, grinding as I feel your skin so smooth like white Hershey’s
We’d be as high as the puffy whites in the sky that magically flew
Finally, you’d be my perfect squeeze as I dropped to my knees

It was all planned out in my head
Without knowing you’d vanish into thin air
By the time I’d discovered my heart broke instead
Couldn’t go on searching and searching every where

But it didn’t matter where I looked
Could never seem to find your pretty face
Aware deep down I was forever shook
With time suddenly unimportant as I was lost in space

It was a game you played so well
Hinting that I’d finally win
Until that ringing of the alarm bell
Now I don’t even know where I’ve been

Thought once one Halloween I caught a glimpse of you
But only stalled before thinking no way
And all these days later I believe it’s true
No wonder I remain off track today

Praying and hoping one day we meet again
When it’s about as realistic as hitting the lotto
With my wings ready if it somehow happened
And if it did you’d punch my winning ticket
