Life is a game
Girls are the same
That's why she screams
As I dissect her dreams

She calls me a knight
But I'm really a hunter
She's lost her sight
Truly asunder

Girl's feel too much
Yet I feel too little
Playing with hearts
Gosh they're so brittle

I want a strong girl
Who can see through the mist
I say you're beautiful
Resist!

See past my words
Just see the meaning
Tower of cards
Jesus, we're leaning

I see I've just lost you
But look it's okay
You'll see through my madness...

Someday.

If you don't know what asunder means, you might want to look it up.

Also I'd find it interesting if you stated what you think this is about..

Veryyy good! =) i like all the rhyming, and the poem is kind of haunting...i think it's about a relationship where the guy knows he's gonna hurt the girl, but she doesnt; she only sees the good in him, and all the kind words he says...that's why he tells her to "Resist!" idk if i'm right about that but, all and all, great poem! 5/5 =)

To be honest angel, the word just felt like it should be there. It seemed to flow for me. I'm not sure if it actually goes with the piece but if it doesn't it's funny how people miss it.
