Description Come play with me
This game you cannot win
You don't stand a chance
You don't have a choice

Come play with me
Like I played once
And lost the game
Just like you will

Come play with me
The Game Master
Now a mere shadow
Of what I used to be

Come play with me
And surrender your heart
So you can earn the power
Of being The Game Master

Come play with me
So I can steal your soul
To replace the one I once had
And break this evil curse

Come play with me
So I can be free
And leave you trapped
Instead of me...

Sounds cool.Ā 

I'm considering exploring Sailor Moon one of these days. I've read some bits of the manga and it looks inyeresting.

Yeah. To be honest, I haven't watched much of it. Only a little bit when it was airing. But people reference it so much that I've gotten to know all their names and such.

Yup~ I tend to know a lot about shows I haven't even watched because of that.

An interesting idea; it made me think of things like Saw and Virtues Last Reward (a video game with a similar premise). However, your piece would greatly benefit with more attention paid to rhythm and flow. A couple of your stanzas have rhythm within those specific stanzas, but as a whole the piece does not flow together coherently - it reads in a disjointed manner.

Hope this feedback helps. Ā

GhostOfTheEmptyGrave In reply to TheWhitePriestess [2014-01-25 20:56:33 +0000 UTC]

I see. I tend to write freely, without thinking much about flow or rhythm. But I guess I could pay more attention next time. It's not only about the message, it should be nice to read. Thanks for the feedback

Maybe there was a level with a similar premise. Don't know, never played that game.

You're welcome

There was a treasure chest that wanted to play games with you and if you lost you died.

I like the call to the challenge; the taunting lure of this piece. Despite its chilling revelations, it beckons. Nice! Ā

GhostOfTheEmptyGrave In reply to Anninhaxox [2014-01-25 20:54:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot. It was meant to start off like some powerful game master looking for another victim but it turns out he's just trying to escape a cursed life as an empty shell.Ā

I read the first stanza and was expecting something about being played like puppets to come around somewhere...

It's an intriguing poem. Sometimes inspiration can just hit. You think a game master would enjoy playing games.

GhostOfTheEmptyGrave In reply to Russianbear09 [2014-01-25 20:51:03 +0000 UTC]

He had to lose his soul to become the game master. That's why he's trying to escape, stealing another soul and giving the 'title' to someone else.
