Deceive

I'm left wide awake,
From all I'm forced to take,
The burden of being alive,
Struggling just to survive,

My last thoughts leave,
Too far away to retrieve,
And I'm forced to believe,
All you do is deceive,

The game we've played was fun,
But I'm the one who should've won,
I knew I was better than you,
Until the game was played through,

With a smile we were allies,
But you are wearing a disguise,
And I was too slow to understand,
From the instant, I shook your hand.

[Reverse]

From the instant I shook your hand,
I was too slow to understand,
That you are wearing a disguise,
And with a smile, we were allies,

I knew I was better than you,
Until the game was played through,
And although the game was fun,
I'm the one who should've won,

Now I'm forced to believe,
That all you do is deceive,
As my last thoughts leave,
Too far away to retrieve,

And I'm left wide awake,
From all I've been forced to take,
Bearing the burden of being alive,
I'm struggling just to survive.

I wrote this poem backwards intentionally for those who could understand. If you're reading and comprehending the poem, it makes sense in the first version. For all of those who wouldn't understand it, I wrote it forward.
