THE GAME

Maybe

it’s all a game

Powered from the depths of our emotions

The goal in sight to pass and kick the ball layered with pretense

To slightly bend or distort my life to reach and have your heart in my hands

And to hear the warning cries of a fragile one that can only take so much

Same hands hold your soul, let you in blessed with my love

Careful hands that walk painfully slow to not drop you

Self sacrificing to not hurt you

The sweetest taste you’ll ever have to not lose you

My love? Turns out that’s your game

It should’ve been your favorite thing to hold over and over again

The ‘forever and always’

Not the highest score when you didn’t compete

Achieved? You were the only player in the league

My love, heart was yours with ease

Appreciate it? No! I’d rather play with it some more

Cause Turns out I’m just a game after all

When all your friends are online, you long for the attention

They pay no mind to my situation

It’s not their fault

I’m just your favorite video game character on your PlayStation

Let’s watch how I win

How it belonged and I didn’t have to steal

Knocked slightly with an opposed entrance

Unmentioned uncounted second chances

Knowing the right buttons that control

You pass, you kick, you’re on a roll

And you push past the cares of my life

Blind to the tears in my eyes

Deaf to the fear in my cries

“But I can only take so much”

Cause I’m not just a game
