No Winning

©Stacie Sandall


I can't win this game.
Why even play?
I drudge through the fires
every damned day.
There is no end.
I'll lose anyway.
Why am I here?
Why do I have to stay?
I'm here all alone
with no one to hold.
I've no one to warm me
when my heart gets cold.
Why aren't you here?
My heart feels so old.
Why am I here?
Why shouldn't I fold?
Why aren't you here?
Why won't you touch me?
I'm dead inside waiting,
frustrated and lonely.
I've nothing to lose
and nothing to gain.
I've walked through the coals,
endured all the pain.
I've weathered the snow,
the wind and the rain.
Why are my efforts all in vain?
