the game we play.

Life is one of those questions we would all like to answer

Love is a game that we all like to play.

Play with our hearts and feelings

we do this every single day.

Sometimes through happiness,

sometimes regret,

sometimes things can happen that we'd all like to forget.

Yet we will get on with our lives and rarely ever let,

another player roll our dice

to decide on where we go,

a day to go by without letting someone know.

Know the feelings that are in us, the need to speak the truth.

We merely just get stuck in a game, a game that we get used.

Used to playing,

together or alone.

People state that.

the heart it is a home

A home we welcome visitors to,

Stay.

Linger there forever, or just spend a day.

A memory is a moment that is forged down deep within our heart, it is a single solitary snippet of life with which you cannot part.

Let go of or forget.

It's part of our life.

It's become part of this game.

It's there until game over, it shall always here remain.

Pulled into contention as part of the big question that is;

What's the meaning of life?

as within yourself you question,

what if?

What of this love I felt, how can it now cease, was it destined to be my life, my answer, my secret *** of gold.

The love the stories mention that you shall never get to hold.

Hold in your arms, with their head upon your chest.

Hold upto the skies as they rise above the rest.

 

Its something to always ponder on, as if that were the case

I thought I understood the question and found my own meaning of life

Yet I'm still part of this race so there's still time to decide.

 

So maybe there might just be a chance, that it could be true.

Life has more than one meaning.

and maybe for me it wasn't you.

Notes

I have been searching through all my unfinished poems or little phrases I had written down to give me motivation.

this one was partially written so I decided to edit it and play on the premise that love is just a game we all play to make life have more meaning. (not sure I agree with that viewpoint though)
