Its All Fun and Games

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt,

Your heart fills with dirt,

Silent cries at night—wondering why.

You once lived in peace, now you’re trapped in a storm,

I just might die, drained from the pain,

My mind’s going insane.

Losing balance, like I’m high on cocaine,

Only myself to blame.

Scarred inside, wounds cut deeper than potholes,

The hands you placed your heart in

Were supposed to t...

An Accident

It could all start,

In the matter of a second,

Innocent…

You are enjoying yourself,

What could go wrong?

This question had never crossed your mind,

Moments would go by… Nothing…

Still… nothing?


As if the trouble lay in wait for the right moment to…

STRIKE!

Everything would suddenly go tumbling down,

Like rows of dominoes,

Effort and time to maintain the serenity,

It all, seemed to have, gone to ...

Does it make sense?

It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone Gets Hurt


It started with laughter — the kind that makes your ribs ache and your cheeks burn. The kind that belongs only to friends who know too much and care too deeply. We were tangled on the couch, arguing about whose turn it was to pick the movie, when somehow, it turned into a full-blown wrestling match.


“Stop—!” I said between snorts, half laughing, hal...

ArempiV/Vampire

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt

My intentions with you were merely to flirt

I wasn’t prepared for the spell you put on me

It happened when we shared our kiss under the tree

I knew then I was yours and you mine

I still remember you smelled as sweet as wine

I cherish the moment we shared together

If only I had given you the option of forever

I never wanted you to see me brood

Y...

Religion

It’s all fun and games to believe in a higher spirit.

A God you worship,

A God you talk to.

Love, what’s that?

When you smother yourself in it, you often forget about others.

Why would you believe in a single person that’s better when you could try and see other people?

Someone’s going to get hurt if you shove everyone into the same door.

Why we pray? For a hope of some sort.

Try and find hope ou...

Questions

If I wasn’t ok,

Would you want to know?

If the pain was too much

And I couldn’t let go,

Would you want me to tell you

And not let it grow?

If the darkness looked endless

And I hadn’t a hope,

Would you want me to wave

Before I go?

Questions run through my mind

But what repeats time after time,

Can you tell I’m lying

Each time I say I’m fine?...

idk

I love love

But i have never truly felt heartbreak

How will I know if I am winning

Until is fairly lose


Its all a game

Life is a game

Until we die

Because then its all pain...

Hearts Find Home

Please dear friend, don’t fear the rain

You are the one who shines through pain

It is not the end, but a new beginning

The world is turning, forever spinning

It was supposed to be sunshine bright

If only we could turn back the night

With laughter and wine, so sweet, so fine,

Even when all the stars align

The silence brings shivers down my spine

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt ...

The Friendly Fire

My initiative spark lit a bonfire of "help,"

I saw your dull routine and let out a Yelp.

I swore I was a beacon, bringing the light,

But my intense enthusiasm just filled you with fright.

"It's all fun and games," I declared, tearing things down,

"Until someone gets hurt"—you wore a sharp frown.

My overwhelming good turned into a mess.

I caused the disaster, I must confess.

Now I burnout alone, ha...
