The Player (Rhyming Poem)

He longed for love, he longed so deep,
A girl to have, a heart to keep,
He searched around from place to place,
But found no one his arms to embrace.

So to the screens his eyes did turn,
Where hearts can break and quickly burn,
On social sites he cast his line,
Hoping at last for love to shine.

The girls would chat, they’d laugh and speak,
But something more felt far to reach,
Until one day, as fate would play,
A group appeared along his way.

Among them stood a tender heart,
A girl sincere right from the start,
And as they talked both night and day,
Her guarded heart just slipped away.

For he was fair, a handsome face,
With charm that few could e’er replace,
His words like honey, soft and sweet,
Could make a lonely heart complete.

But truth was not within his tone,
For love to him was never known,
No vow he sought, no bond to keep,
Just someone there when he would weep.

He shared his thoughts, his pain, his fears,
She gave him love throughout the years,
She fell so hard, she fell so fast,
Believing this would truly last.

His friends cried out, “You lead her wrong!
This road you walk won’t stand for long!”
But pride arose within his mind,
And left their warnings far behind.

“Who are they all to speak to me?
I’ll live my life and just be free.”
So on he went, without a care,
Not knowing pain was waiting there.

For though she thought his love was true,
His heart was false—he always knew,
He kept her close for selfish gain,
While she was drowning in the pain.

And when at last the truth was shown,
She stood there hurt and all alone,
A shattered heart, a broken trust,
Left in the ruins of his lust.

And what of him, what did he find?
The same old road, the same old kind,
Girls would speak—but not remain,
For now they knew his selfish game.

His name was whispered, passed around,
A warning voice, a bitter sound,
“The Player,” that is what they’d say,
And slowly all would turn away.

Moral

Take time before you give your heart,
Discern the truth from the very start,
For not all love is what it seems—
Some only live on borrowed dreams.
