Gameboy

In pixels and wires, a world is drawn, a game where hearts are played and quickly gone. She presses start, but the game never ends, caught in the loop, where nothing ascends. His voice is a whisper through the screen, a distant echo, yet so sharp, so keen. She reaches for something that she can’t hold, a love that’s written, but never told. A game of chance, where the rules are blurred, her heart in the balance, every word unheard. A level she can never quite complete, chasing a victory she'll never meet. She’s lost in the screen, trapped in the play, with every new level, he slips away. Her love’s a code that she can’t decipher, a glitch in the system, growing tighter. And still, she plays, knowing the end, a game of pretend, where hearts just bend. In the realm of the digital, she remains, chasing his love through virtual lanes.
