It's just a Game

Hello, been keeping myself so busy lately I haven't really had time to write, but the last few nights I have not been sleeping well so I thought this might help me tonight, get a few creative words out before bed. This poem does have personal significance to me, it is not one of my best but I hope it's enjoyed.

It's just a Game

Emotions play by their own rules

Controlling me, it feels so cruel

Knowing my personality at length

Using my weaknesses and strengths

Like a puppet I smile and sing

Until they pull upon my string

Then its up to them to choose

Whether I'm happy or have the blues

One day slides into the next

They decide I am feeling stressed

Late at night trying to sleep

Into my dreams, sad thoughts creep

When they allow excitement to appear

Its usually followed by nerves and fear

You know that we are just their fools

When Emotions play by their own rules

Been struggling with inspiration recently so haven't written anything that's worth a post. However I am a little bit down at the moment, just hormones going nuts I think, but anyways I wrote this to clear my head. Hope you like it.

Put your trust in someone again,
Hope they never cause you pain.
Never learn from your mistakes,
Who's to blame when your heart aches?

This time, I know, it will be fine
We agreed he's always been mine
And I his, it's not one way
All relationships are grey.

How can you fall for it again,
You know it'll be just the same
Weeks down the line, maybe more
You'll be walking out the door.

Maybe so, but its worth a try
Even if he makes me cry
Why can't everybody just see
That I love him, and he loves me.

Is someone there?

Written after watching The Awakening with Rebecca Hall. It is a very good film that has some horror qualities but the ghost in this film isn't like typical ghosts in horrors. 

Empty Room, lonely chair
Busiest of places now so bare
I sit and look all around
Listening out for any sound.

Call out, nothing's heard
I can't speak a single word
Time goes on yet I'm the same
I shouted out but no one came.

Feel a presence, just behind
For some reason, I do not mind
A peaceful soul fills the space
Now not such a lonely place.
