The Game of Love!!

Love, a bargain, it seems, a peculiar art,

Where if you cherish, you play but a small part.

Too available, your worth starts to fade,

The love you deserve, a promise unmade.

Play too cautious, and love slips like sand,

For fading it does, with a careful hand.

Take a bold risk, yet it still takes its flight,

Perhaps too risky, you lose the good fight.

So tell me, dear heart, how is this game won?

For I have failed, and my loving's not done.

Though my love is gone, a part of me yearns,

For the self that was mad, where passion still burns.

That self that cared, and tried to embrace,

Gave its everything, in love's tender space.

Yet I lost in this game, with a heavy, sad sigh,

Still I love the same, as moments go by.
