It’s a game and I’m the prize,
they all have to compete for my heart
and not for what’s in my pants.
The Hunger Games,
but they’re hungry for me.
Some have the most gorgeous words,
some only see the the bed as our end goal,
and only one wants to give me the world.
They lose their places after a few exchanges,
but the alphabet continues until there's a winner,
until they're worthy of me.
Down the list I go
in hopes to find a match
one that’ll last.
How hard can it be?
I have the whole alphabet to go through
and a roster full of candidates to see
who wins me.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Perfect tone and pace... But are there winners in this race? 🤔 💭
Holy cow! Your poem gave me goosebumps... Literally! 😩 You said the truth; the ultimate truth with a straight face... I loved the poem. The one who ought to give the world is hard to find. Maybe the last letter of the alphabet? But, he's one! And that's for sure... Keep it up ❤
