                                 I just met you,and everything was going GREAT
                                 You made me feel something I could not fake,this 
                                 feeling I couldn't seem to shake! I really don't know
                                 why,because I've never felt this way.
                                 You say you like 
                                 me a lot so, tell me why haven't you asked me out?
                                 This game you're playing isn't fun,
                                 If you wanted to 
                                  admit okay you've won,
                                  but still I'm not ready to say i'm 
                                  done,You're playing this game for fun, 
                                  I'm playing to win
                                  you,I'm trying to have you,
                                   to be with you,but I'm losing
                                   and I'm growing scared I might lose you too,
                                    My heart is beating
                                    fast I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR Russian Roulette,
                                    I signed up for you
                                    i'm playing by the rules you're playing by the game, this isn't 
                                    fair I think you're cheating! 
                                    Every time I think I'm close to 
                                    winning,you roll the dice,
                                    and you'll so far away so far from my reach
                                     I can never tell you how badly this is hurting me,I'm not about 
                                   try, and catch you if you DON'T want to be caught,
                                   I'M not interested in playing TAG, 
                                    I'm fatigued I thought you really
                                  wanted me,but I guess not, that's how you do,
                                    I wish I had 
                                    never met you, that day I will always rue!!!! 
                                     I'm done with the GAMES,
                                     Now you're alone playing Solitaire

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Ratisha. Love, Carol
