If someone desires a real connection with you
Then proceeds to often wounding your heart
Their player’s repertoire has too many angles
And you’ll notice them each, right from the start

Once anyone’s been psychologically burned
Healing takes more than mere passing of time
Because we never forget hard lessons learned
When there’s obvious scars left behind to remind

If you don’t know the signs of a professional gamer
But you do know that trust has got to be earned
Then simply read between all their lines
They’re really not that hard to discern

It’s such a sad state of personal worldly affairs
When romance turns out to be nothing but a joke
And that can cause some lost opportunities
Because spirits have already been customarily broke

I for one want to experience true love again
While believing it will eventually be mine someday
Until such a time though, I’ll be naturally inclined
Just to be satisfied with what joy comes my way
