All's Fair

I watched you walk,
And work,
And talk
And laugh,
From behind a thin
Piece of glass--
Never knowing,
Never guessing
That I could only look,
Not touch.
Isn't it a funny thing
To reach out,
And to have your hand
Slapped away?
Silly little girl,
You should known better
Than to get your hand
Caught
In the cookie jar.
Innocence doesn't work
Anymore,
So discard that rotten apple
Core,
It'll do you not one bit
Of damned
Or sainted good.
You've lost the battle child
But you're in luck,
You may have unwittingly
Starting a foolish
War.
Crusades of God
Can take a rest--
Honey that's all been done
And overdone,
Before.
In war and love,
All's fair,
A smiles nothing more
Than pretty ware,
But remember to watch well
The heart,
Vunerable as it--
Sometimes I think
That we're all just playing
Freeze tag,
Or capture the flag,
Nothing more than silly games.
Oh before I forget,
TAG
You're it.
