Love Games Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

I want to play a game with my feelings.
Too inexperienced with any dealings.
Too shy and not too manly.
I could never play love games.

Watch the movies, the good guy gets the girl.
Marking the beginning with a loving kiss.
Try as I might, my aim is set to miss.
Always too nice to make a move.
Too much of a gentleman to make an impression.
I will watch from the side lines.
A spectator of this complicated game.
