Game Faces

I didn't "tilt"
she did.
The ball was coming down a little,

going both side to side
gravity as his bride;

then.....game over ? Game over !

I wasn't "privy"
to all dialogs,
we were in the "lightning round",

she was slightly ahead
was it something I said?

Game over ? Game over !

I loved her
am physically drained.
Endurance was something I could never endure;

I'm ready to drop,
this all has to stop;

game over ? Game Over !
