Tonight's Poet Corner: Try Again
Try Again by Belinda Roddie You said it yourself: a lack of control is what keeps you playing the game she's programmed. All the cheats and codes she's buried inside are there to lead you to her happy ending. It doesn't matter which color button you press, or what sad letter on the keyboard you smash with shaking thumbs. Your hands will get sweaty, but her lips will stay pressed against your shoulder blade, too close to the vulnerable spot on your neck. The princess always gets her knight. She fractures his armor with a kiss and a laugh. You've tried every available option, but there's no alternative path in this plot. If only you knew when to quit. If only you knew when to quit. If only you knew when to quit.
