Game of Love

We play this game,

not knowing the rules.

Others play and do play it well

and some gets played and gets burned

This game is played

without any time limit

a bit of cash will be involved

and a lot of feelings will be invested.

It is a risky one though

some can get their hearts broken

some will get ruin

while others don't want to try it once more.

I want to try it

but I fear of being played

the rules are so confusing

I don't know where to begin.

Should I say everything at once

or say them little by little

Should I wear my heart in my sleeve

or hid it some place where no one can see.

Damn this rule, it hurts my head

Can I avoid playing it

and just let him appear in an instant

like a wish granted by a genie in the bottle

But sad to say, its not like that

to find that someone

I have to play this game

I might get played once in a while

but I hope I won't lose hope

in finding that special someone

so I may not give up

in playing this hurtful game

we call love...
