I played a game
william murphy Jul 2015
I played a game once, it had two players and no winners
It was a game to see if we could defy the odds
If love could triumph all! A game where we would look past one another’s flaws
The rules were you had to ignore what was rational and just believe in each other
This game ran its course and we both lost,

I played another game once, it had two players and still no winners
It was a game to see how long we could trick one another
We would have to see how long we could go before it showed that neither of us cared
The rules were you had to ignore how you really felt because you at least deserved play
This game had no winners

I played a game once, it had two players and I felt like I won
It was a game where I would see how long I could go without caring
I would change my answers as quick as players in this one
The only rules were you can’t tell the other player what the point of this game was
This game only had a cheat not a winner

I played a game once, it had one player and I know I lost
It was a game to see how long I could deny the ever pressing truth
That maybe I wasn't cut out for this, and that the time for games was in the past
It had one rule, see how long you can survive knowing that you spent your whole life playing rather than feeling
The games are over I quit

— The End —
