these twists and turns, i will never learn.

mood: erm,...inspired?
listening to: -

the game

cards laid on the table,
with a smile on your face.
you say alls fair in a gamble,
and invite me to take my place.
the rules are laid down before me,
i've seen it played before.
it's quite simple and clear, i agree,
everyone knows what they're in for.
with the prize at hand, i was beguiled,
and swift was the taking of my seat.
but we rambled on for awhile,
ignoring the stakes in the heap.
when you then called the game to play,
the sudden fear was startling,
realising it was too high a price to pay,
i thought twice about beginning.
when with great reluctance and resistance,
i announced my decision to retract.
you stormed off into the distance,
with nary a thought, nor a turn to look back.
don't be a stranger my dear friend,
wasn't this just another game?
someone has yet to prove,
that you're all not one and the same.
