Before their world crashes
Into tatters in front of
Their disbelieving eyes?
Falling head over heels
Leaves you black and blue in its wake
When there's no one to catch your fall
I'm anticipating the bitterness
Of watching someone suffer
That heartwrenching grief again
Watching the scenes unravel
As I look on in spellbound horror -
Unable to break my gaze
I remain silent as not to betray
The trust of the scheme
Entrusted to my "zipped lips"
It doesn't stop me from hurting
For others who will be broken
For the twisted pleasure of it
Is it my pride or sick jealousy
That keeps me from bailing
From this game of people's hearts?
