No Game-over in Love

PAD challenge day 1; write a game over poem

Slip over me, the company

Of memories is bittersweet

I liked it when that Yester-then

Was more than echoes on the street

Before the air growled like a bear

and you are there and I am here

Slip over me, the company

of you is like a game, my dear

For while I vow to let you go

the heart endeavors to hold on

This tug-of-warring ebb and flow

of yes and no and dusk-to-dawn

places its pawns in manners such

that I am easy to persuade

to play another round; taste-touch

and thus new memories are made

Slip over me, ah, the romance

of you is bittersweet, for oh

love is no game, rather a dance

of holding close while letting go

There is no game-over in love

for hearts out-played there is no grave

Darling, you win, slip over me

and play the strings I let you have
