LEVELS

By Aricelys Turay

I wanted to think you were

different,

Yet I knew you were the same.

Since our first conversation,

I knew the game we were playing

But I still leveled up to 1

Level 2 came around,

Where I stood my ground and you liked it.

Level 3. We stopped talking

Level 4. You reached out

as if nothing had happened.

I told you what I wanted.

You said you respected that.

Yet you started your manipulation

I ignored. But you were my temptation.

Level 5. You broke me, made me

Abandon my dignity.

Level 6. We went back to Level 1. With a twist

Of reality, Level 7.
