Game Over

The game is over, you win; I willingly throw in my hand The cards have been stacked in your favor, exactly as you planned I know the stakes were high and maybe I folded way too fast But I no longer want to play this game; a game I know will never last I’ve already lost too much and more I cannot spare So no longer deal the cards my way, the game was never fair I’ll count my blessings early and leave this table of deceit For a game already prejudged is a game I cannot defeat A sore loser I’m not; I’m just tired of a game with the same outcome Petty to most of the players; highly important to the lecherous some I would have stayed in had the cards been properly shuffled right Instead I saw the cheating displayed, clearly within my sight So game over, I fully renege and completely throw in my hand I’m starting my own new game; one where it’s not already preplanned Fair, consistent and honest; my game will entail all of this Entertaining each new player; this table of love will never dismiss © Stacy Lynn Stiles
