I wrote this last summer as I watched many people I cared about get hurt in the game of love.

LOVE....The Game
Karen Torbiak
August 9, 2000

I watch the game being played by all
words written for all to read
but wrapped in questions and mystery
Who would know if they were to answer the call

A game where hearts are twisted and torn
no honest telling of true emotion
leading to confusion and hurt kept hidden
In a game like this how can true love be born

Words on a screen can many meanings hold
yet hearts yearn to hear their desires
read for each one to say something different
Is love so weak that it cannot be bold

We must play the game for it is a must
draw hearts close within hurtful web
reach out then withdraw to have them chase
The Game of Love has no room for trust

Hints and smiles to beckon the heart
no promises but wanting to capture all
and have love on knees begging to let please
Come around and see for there are many parts

Love The Game is being played for all to see
passions words used to ignite the soul
soft caresses to please and tease
Capturing the heart to never set it free

Do you want to play this game with all it’s lies
to never know the heart of one you love
and throw the dice to take a silly chance
It’s from this kind of game that I running, fly

For games that hurt the emotions are not for me
honest open love is what I seek to be complete
where truth and trust gives love a chance to grow
From Games of Love my hurting heart does flee

Startime / Karen, this is so true,
Oh how those games hurt and maim
Never will your heart feel the same
Tears fall in a torrent of pain
And loves sky pours with rain

Trust is wandering and so lost
Your soul in sorrow pays the cost
As spirit on pains oceans is tossed
And love is withered by lusts frost

Take care
Mushy Marsha

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

'Tis a game for sure, startime, and the rules keep changing....but it's still the only game in town

Excellent writing once again, dear poet!
