play me like a guitar
so at least I’ll have a song
I’ll speak in soft vibrations
each time you pull my strings
then play me like a drum
I promise I can take the hits
then sate me like a violin
smooth and slow and haunting
if I’m merely an instrument
at least I’ll have a song
play me like a tennis match
at least there will be love
even if we’re back and forth forever
then play me like a basketball
I’ll jump through all your hoops
make our life like a dartboard
always hit or miss
if I’m merely for sport
please let there be some love
play me like a game of chess
so at least I’ll have your time
put a little thought to me
we are not this black and white
then play me like checkers
I’ll make you my king
strategize me like a game of Risk
conquer me piece by piece
if I’m merely a game
at least I’ll have your time
read me like a paperback
so at least I’ll have a story
love me like a classic
earmark me like a tawdry romance
memorize me like a textbook
skip to the good parts
or the end if I’ve lost your interest
if I’m merely killing time
at least I’ll have a story
