Players are we all
for so it seems
attraction nowadays
results in the game

there is always some game to it
depends how you look at it
which side you are
what benefit you aim
what you do seek from it all

a message is sent
a wait is kept
hope
desire
yearning
all intensifying as time goes on

tick tock
yet again you look
still nothing
what do you do
how are you feeling
do they care
are they real

tick tock
feels like time stands still
your thoughts rushing
your head muddled

tick tock
a reply
minutes
hours
days
later

so you hope
you do get on in life
but still wonder
are they real

why do they play
why not just be genuine
protection they say
careful they do act

do they even care
do they realise
do they understand

or is it all just mere words
on a screen
you write
you read
you send
you wait

the game it feels
to wait for what
acknowledgement
a sign of interest
showing that they think of you
that they may want you for you

seriously now
be real
do they even realise
or understand

tick tock
a game is all it boils down to
waiting
for this
for that
for hope
for what really?

Do you play the Game??
