Travesty?

I got caught here in a travesty 

this game you’re playing is tough 

You're skilled at this charade

I know I’ve had enough 

Captured by your sweetness 

The attention that you paid 

Sucked in by flirtation 

I should have turned away

Now it's too late to leave you

I've way too much invested 

Heart and soul and body 

It’s too late to contest it

I’ll hold on till the finish 

See how it plays out 

This game isn't working

I still have my doubts 

You show no signs of cracking 

You play the game straight through 

Looking for your weakness 

None I see from you 

You say the games are over 

And love you do declare 

Can I trust your feelings?

Are you playing fair?

I want to love you fully 

With all I have to give 

As long as you are honest 

I'll hold on till the end
