You make me rely on anaerobic respiration, cause baby you take my breath away <3

You play my heart like a violin.
Gamble with my love like poker chips.
My heart is delicately held in suspension,
but I’m just one more for your collection.
One of many before,
and many soon to come.
So go ahead and eat your heart out hun.
Im leaving you now,
to your fun and games.
Because you're making me ill,
and for heartbreak there is no pill.
