its safe
thats the best
explanation
safety first
and such
fun too-- perhaps
--this game is one
to be admired
and perfected
a heavy gambler
I have a lot going
on this game
of mine
i must play
keep the guard
up at
all times
play to win
regardless of the
consequences
this life is one of choice
but this game must
be seen through
to it's close
whatever that might be
got a lot going on this one
a lot of practice
and failures
but the guard is good
and the game goes on
as it must
except with you
you come in
with your smile
like silk
and subtle
the game must go on
but the rules seem to change
when you play
you come over
touch like fire
look into my eyes
with something
i can no longer see
or feel
maybe i can
but there's a lot
of weight on
this game
i have to win
for my sake
or sanity
touch like fire
it burns
softly
subtly
i've let my guard down
now all bets are off

i can feel love
again
