Mind games

Mind games

Drinking my own poison,
just so you can die.
It’s mental masturbation,
believing my own lie.

Retaliatory action,
played out in my mind.
Ending with retraction,
emotions never kind.

A drink filled with annoyance
is bitter on my lip.
Cerebral inflammation flares
when revenge is in that sip.

Hours often wasted,
in this passion play.
Few rules of interaction
are found in its cache.

Mind games are played by many,
few ending up on top.
They last for some a life time,
not knowing when to stop.
