Life is not a Game Pantoum


This was no game

The tears will never cease

I cannot bring myself to say your name

My sorrows continue to increase

 

The tears will never cease

Pictures in my mind

My sorrows continue to increase

A way to the past I try to find

 

Pictures in my mind

Nothing I could do

A way to the past I try to find

Never going to get over you

 

Nothing I could do

I can’t help but take the blame

Never going to get over you

This was no game
