It Was Just A Simple Game

How often , so much harm comes from one flirting and yes so many do it. Jealousy is a serious problem that can cause a lot of hurt and sorrow, sometimes receiving no forgiveness as the years of love that should have been is no more, all because someone didn't know when or how to call it quits. Someone forgot it was a simple game not meant to hurt anyone, just a simple game.


 

It Was Just A Simple Game

It was just a simple game,
Wasn't meant to hurt no one,
Maybe a little too daring,
But only meant as a little fun.

A key found in a pocket,
A bed for two lay on the floor,
 Two wine glasses by the candlelight,
He saw as he came through the door.

Nothing really happening,
They were laughing and having fun,
As they sipped their wine by candlelight,
It wasn't meant to hurt anyone.

It was just a simple game they played,
Played as innocently by two,
Just passing away the hours,
A game played by only a few.

Now the tears began to flow,
For something that wasn't meant to be,
As he entered through the door,
For what he wasn't meant to see.

It was just a simple game alright,
That ended with pain and hurt,
All because two people didn't know,
That it was a big mistake to flirt.

Rose, a very nice pen here. Sometimes the simplest games are the hardest ones to play.

Thanks

Great lesson to be learned here, flirting can so easily turn into something else. Great reflection Rose.

Interesting write dear Cuz and reread it twice. I think flirting in itself is innocent enough and I think we all do it to a certain degree. However when it is done in front of someone who really loves us or when it involves two glasses of wine and a bed it is no longer flirting it is into the realm of either love or lust. Anyway interesting look into those gray areas.

Wow! This is a great write my friend, sad to say that this game that was meant just for fun, has hurt and destroyed many families and friends. Great write with a strong message! Enjoyed!
Blessings,
