Just Another Game

I fell 
Back into the shadows 
Hiding in my shell 
Watching the rain 
Extinguish hell 
Gradually, sizzling pain 
I watch, but I shouldn't tell 
How hot the flame once was 
Not a soul could fathom 
How every molecule, nerve 
Connected by the seams of your soul, 
Irreconcilable images  
That which begets peculiar bliss and agony 
A visual so encumbered of confusion, 
How could one betray 
That which once was my light 
Numb, dead, decay, 
Your words 
Rewind, replay 
Broken promises, lies 
How could you 
Leave me in the dark, 
Oozing, bleeding 
How could you break my heart? 
The rain 
Is crashing down 
Emphasizes the pain, 
Please, tell me, was I 
Just a player in your game?
