The Game

Yet another calling to come back.

Sitting on the sidelines

The others all playing

The game I wish to join.

 When played you get hurt

But while watching them,

You want to play,

Want to stay,

But instead I choose

Being out of the game.

 

Time goes by

And colors grow dim

And I still have not

Received the offer I long for.

I’m close to giving up

But then it hits me.

An opening

A beckoning

A call to the game.

 

The urge is so strong

That I join without question.

At first it’s like honey

Slow, sweet, and overpowering.

Then it becomes a drug.

I need it

Or I might lose control

Then it all crashes down

I’m too far in to get out

No time, no chance

 

Pain hurts most

When its least expected.

I look around

Picking up the broken glass

Desperate to put it back together

How did it go wrong?

I was so careful

Never again will

I fall for you

 

I should have listened

To the scream of denial

That came from the

Black hole that replaces

What you took from me.

Holding the shattered pieces

Desperate to put it back together

And you come along again

Holding band-aids.
