Lost in a Game
Lost in a Game
The marbles lost in a game once played- “For keeps!” In triumph, so she says.
So much more is gone now, more than just those days-
Memories, emotions and with time, even aches and pains.
How long has it been? How do these feelings last?
I never was upset about losing to her, marbles are simply glass.
I still remember her trophy, A giant glassy one, so smooth and smart.
I haven’t told her, to this day, she won the game, but also took my heart.
