Video Game Analogy

A Poem by Olmsted A. T.

Video Game Analogy


They told me to wait…. (Wait)

they said don’t you cry… (don’t you cry) 

and that when the time came 

they’d still be by my side… 


But you were cruel … (yeah… yeah… yeah.. shoo aw) 

and only cared for your self… (so cruel) 

and I couldn’t see through the smoke screen 

and I now I just don’t know what to do (what to do) 


I tried to forget about it (but it didn’t work ) 

I thought that I’d make a comeback 

 

Every token that I spent 

brought us closer to the end 

and I still can’t seem to figure out 

how to win this game 


But you were cruel….(yeah… yeah…yeah… shoo aw) 

and you didn’t give a s**t about me (so cruel) 

you left me at the restaurant 

and the place was too far in the weeds 


I could’ve had my initials at the top of the list 

but instead I got an aching head 

and pockets filled with nothing but lint 


because you were cruel (so cruel) 

you were so cruel to me 

because you were cruel (so cruel) 

and now I can’t sleep 


I toss and turn at night 

mapping out tomorrows trial 

I’ve made it to the 27th stage 

and I feel I’m doing alright 

but when I least expect it 

the f*****g ghosts come out of nowhere 

and there’s another token gone 

and I’m back where I began.
