The devil's game

by HollywoodSmile   Apr 12, 2007


Warning: before you read this, i should warn you, only pain will come of playing, but then again, you don't have a choice

the devil's game
come and join us
come and play

this is the devil's game
and now you've been invited

the rules
they don't exist
but if you don't follow them
you lose

number of players
two...
or more

places for play
anywhere
everywhere
and nowhere

strategies
endless

endings
are always mandatory
and never happy

warnings
infinite

this is the devil's game
and you've been asked to join

this is not a choice
its a commitment
a burden
a contract
demand

this is the devil's game
and you have just been invited

this is the devil's game
the end is never exactly the same
and yet, all know it before they roll the die, before they pick a card
love is hard

this is the devil's game
and you are now a player

this is the devil's game
it is delightfully insane
devilishly enjoyable

this is the devil's game
and it starts now

do you dare to fall in love?
its not up to you

    DANG! This is amazing. It has emotion, and flow, and creativity and wow. I could go on for hours about how amazing this piece is. 5/5 for sure.

    This piece is: I am speechless and have no clue what else I could honestly say.
