Her Game - Kevin Max

Every time she comes my way she

knows just what to do and say

Those little smiles she throws

away, they turn my stomache

If you listen close enough you’ll

catch all the divisive stuff

Those subtle moves, the way she smoothes her hair

And you don’t want to say

She was digging your grave

And your friends all can see it There’s no way you’re gonna leave it So where you gonna go Who you gonna call

When you know it’s time to play the game?

What’s your mystery

Who’s it gonna be When you knot it’s time to play her game

Is it real or Memorex

Those secrets that you feared confess

When she was there you let it all spill out

Turning as you leave for good

You wonder if you ever should have wandered through

Her neighborhood at all

And you don’t want to say

She was digging your grave

and your friends all can see it There’s no way you’re gonna leave it I am all to blame

This is my parade of broken-hearted words

I feel them all and learned their shame

Please catch me when I fall

And turn me from this wall I’ve faced far too long

This lonely sonnet needs a throng
