From Abby's contest, "Write a Poem That starts with "Its all fun and games..."

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6aB2EDiy9

it’s all fun and games

until your life revolved around his

his words entangled you in a web

your voice smothered under layers of silk.

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCsxCqkwVf

words are all fun and games

you thought one day he’d see you

hands shyly by your side in an ivory lace gown

eyeing him as you glide down the aisle

but it couldn’t even last until October

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbXVqDw7aR

you always spoke about forever

when ‘forever’ meant three months

was he counting down all the days?

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOylFrsLQCb

Love is all fun and games

being handled like a whining child

you let it happen

when he dragged you by your hair

you let it happen

letting go of who loved you most

how could you let it happen?

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv5MQ6eFug

It’s all fun and games

until you’ve stumbled beyond reach

you would give your life to be loved

craving every unwinnable battle

crawling back to empty threats

stripping yourself of dignity.

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQW69D6M0p

You no longer feel like a person at all, then—

all because you liked a boy.
