Versus

You and me.
Are we playing games?
Is it a contest
to see who blinks first?
Two monster egos
and one will have to cave in.
Will it be Player No. 1
who serves that double-fault?
Will you keep smashing me with aces,
until I can feel no more?
I already do,
feel not a lot,
and yet you tempt me,
entice me
to engage in a joust
that will leave me burnt,
in ashes,
weak and alone.
History repeats,
cruelly,
Is there an end to this match?
