"Honors lost in broken rules." By Ben Goode (2014) Rewritten 2019 (c)

Two steps just seem to linger on, what the hell did I do wrong? 
A cliff ahead, a drop so deep, two steps, will make a fall, I weep. 
Two steps back, will make me doubt. No escape, but I want out! 
Lies and gossip in my hair. Broken heart and frozen care. 
Sky ahead and open air. No bird wings, its just not fair. 
Ridicule and foolish games. Friendly foe, are all the same. 
Losing friends is just insane. Happens, yet again, the pain. 
Sister brother, I love you. But blood is water. No one's true. 
Cover up, so they can't see. They're with them, but not with me. 
Tell everyone your secret here. Forget about the falling tears. 
I have your back, With empty cheers. Fed again, my damning fears.
Block, defend are all the same. In real life. It's just a game? 
All the history, seems in vain. Off the stage, and have no fame. 
Trust is lost to silly fools. The hammered heads and shifty tools. 
Walk away as temper cools. Honors lost in broken rules.
