Hearts Can Play Games Too

Hearts can play games too
They are stubborn like a soldier seasoned to withstand "a losing battle"
Because he loved her and she loved him
But denial was too good to be true

He was caged by his past
Fear chained him down and provoked him
"you'll hurt her" like a daily reminder
Hence his heart believed that "she's just another girl"

She was radiant but so cold
Like the reflection on a lone mirror
Her heart weary, her soul famished
Craving the indulgence of loves hunger

Then

Their eyes interlocked and their hearts threw a tantrum
It screamed as they grew closer
Then it cried at the torturous distance
Distance so small, so easy to fix

Silence

Sound grew hollow, space felt micro
But their souls blossomed from their intertwine
The mending of their lips revealed their secret
Passion dripped from their tongue... So abundant

He wanted to capture her entirely
Soul, mind and body
So fragile, so prestine in his hands
Hands that pledge wonders across her skin

She no longer felt weary, rather quenched
Desire rising over untouched territory
Territory that lays ripe to be harvested
By him
