Games
His forever haunting memory seeped through on a dark and dreary night,
The awful stench of his stale cigarettes and empty beer cans permeated the already dense air filled in my lungs
He never cared
He never loved
He never even tried!
His passion was not calling for duty
It was not a fortnight away
It was not a mine to craft
His passion was his final fantasy,
His final move,
His final words,
His final embrace.
He walked away without a single tear or care in the world
Ready to conquer,
Ready to steal,
Ready for another life and world entirely
I was just another heart to add to his already impressive collection.
He was ready to play another game!
