The Game Of Pain Poem by Orlando Belo

One glance from your seductive eyes
was all it took to hypnotise.
Instantly, I belonged to you,
my heart, soul, and body too.

You knew the power you had over me
and cared not for my dignity.
You teased and tempted, and gave me pain,
then you stopped and did it again.

Your flirtatious games with other men,
caused me emotional pandemonium.
I felt like killing you, and the gullible guys,
but I foolishly believed your worthless lies.

The emotional extremes of love and jealousy
were driving me wild and to insanity.
To heaven and hell, I was without doubt sent,
to which my pillow can bear testament.

Something needed to happen to end this pain,
but I desired you again, and again.
I pleaded with you not to treat me this way,
but your eyes said all you had to say.

But then you told me that you had to move on,
the desire you once had has now gone.
I could not believe you would finish with me,
but you basked in your lack of empathy.

Despair filled your absence in my heart,
and I hated you for tearing my life apart.
Yet my love remained and could not be denied,
this was when I considered suicide.

I resisted the mental urge for an easy way out,
and toiled to remove my low esteem and doubt.
However, I cannot forget your seductive eyes,
and the times you had me hypnotised.
