Diabolical

It must have been a demon who

Made up this game and named it love.

All the crafted twists and turns

As subtle innuendo burns

 

Life's incense slowing smoldering

And you're left standing, shouldering

The weight of the entire world,

Another lesson sadly learned.

 

The field is never level, without

Bevel or uncertainty,

And we are left to ponder

As we wander across open seas.

 

It's all so diabolical

Steeped in psychological

Mind games between physical

Opponents biological.

 

Crushing blows than weaken will,

Broken egos slow to heal,

As curtains open to reveal

Emotions we're not meant to feel.

 

Though obstacles block every mile

Still the journey is worthwhile.

And we make it willingly,

For that's the way it's meant to be.
