Angry Game

You'd know it by now, 
I get a little angry at times.
Yes I know it's not allowed,
but you just know it
before the monsoons strike.
But now - is this a game?
We step on each other,
We test ourselves -
we pull our strings
to see who resists.
You! you - you cheat!
I saw you cheat!
There you go now,
exploding in my face.
I know I ain't scary,
But that won't stop this.
But since all's said and done,
And you'll always win,
it's the rule unsaid.

Hello Kaveesha Ruwind, Angry games is just as bad as walking on egg shells. A cheating husband is not good. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello Kaveesha Ruwind, LoL. I am sorry to think you older. I am sorry. Sorry I misunderstood. Thank you for telling me you use a lot of metaphor. Enjoy your day my friend.

haha there's a misunderstanding here. I'm not married (I'm only 17 lol.) I use a lot of metaphors on my poems. but here, game is literally a 'game' - you're a player and cheating is literally when you go against the rules. Nothing about a relationship. Thanks for the comment anyways!
