'til the last one falls

the pieces are set on a board she can't fathom

{domino}

her invite arri#es slipped in light beer and foam

{/omino}

she sips and she scans but the ruin's in motion

{/\mino}

the start gun has fired, he's chosen his token with

{/\/ino}

a hero's smile aiming for unconsc#ous gain

{/\/\no}

they leave on a high but she's trapped in a haze; the round loops over and over and over

{/\/\/o}

her clothes - they were wanton; her choices - un#lear

{______}

she should have been less _____; it made him take more

{o}

no surprise she's at fault in his shiny rebuttal

{no}

her fu#ure's been dimmed, washed out by his *luster*

{no!}

she'll carry the scars and the fear and the shame

{No!}

he'll brag and move on, compare scores with his mates

{NO!}

but for her, the lesson is trag#cally blatant

{STOP}

speaking up is the best way to lose at this ga#e...

{huussshhh}
