The Game

Canvas gently stroked by the brush,
Such beautiful colors strike the eye
In a surly manner.
Danger lurks in the receptors
Where someone so beautiful
Is so falsely perceived.
Dangerous thoughts proved dangerous minds,
And dangerous minds evoked dangerous games.
A game that you made me play.
In my time of dying you came to me.
We wanted to frolic,
Together.
But there is a scheme to all games
And the twist was a killer.
When we thought we were the most serious of all,
Looking down on other amusements,
I was nothing more than a Chance Card
To you.
And if you didn't want me from the start
Why make me play so hard
For so long?
It's not fallacy...
Nobody ever finishes.
But we played and we played,
Ignorant to the fact that a game is just for fun.
And the picture we painted was just a game
No more realistic than the dream I have
That we can someday play again...
For real.
