Fun In Games

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

Then things could change. Alert!

Patientce and calm start to convert,

Every relationship becomes awkward.


Now everyone is hurt and tired,

No one can get up, they can’t get inspired.

All the people they used to admire

Feel distant, faded, lost in the mire.


The jokes feel sharp, the smiles feel fake,

And every word’s a heartbreak.

The room, once warm, is cold and bare,

And no one’s sure why they still care.


The laughter echoes like a threat,

A memory we all regret.

It started light, but now it all feels wrong.

That once powerful bond didn’t stay strong.


So be careful, don’t be too rough.

Some hearts just aren’t as tough.

It’s all fun in games, until it’s not,

And healing’s something they forgot.
