--*End Scene

He was the #1 contender.the pretender.but he played his role.
They told me not to get involved with you.to leave that puzzle unsolved with you.
Do you even care how hard I tried to find the missing pieces? Pieces of myself were
lost in the process.Obsessed with changing YOU changed ME.3rd-degree burns left
pain and scars on my ability to trust.must I remind you it was YOU who sought ME!
nearly fought for ME.and once you realized you had caught me.you forgot me.

See, this was all just a game for you.a dog after the kitty cat.yes, in fact, I was merely a chase.
defaced and replaced.space out every time I think of who you could've been.what we could've been.
So I pretend and suppress the feeling.I'm dealing and with time comes healing.Sealing my heart until someone
proves they're worth peeling my heart.exposing the layers.Answering my prayers.

So I play guard.Daring one to play forward.come forward and break this guard I'm entitled to hold.
As the recital unfolds and the curtains close.the credits role.the act is over.you've been discovered.
