If you are winning, simplify.
If you are losing, complicate.
If you prefer to play for draw,
Just equalize in any way.

This works for sure in games of chess,
But not so much in games of love.
You blunder every other move.
No wonder this endgame is tough:

If you are winning, equalize.
Don’t draw it out, don’t complicate.
If you are losing, simplify.
Acknowledge. Don’t prevaricate.

It’s not a competitive game.
The only win’s togetherness.
If that is lost, then all is lost.
Except your hanging loneliness.
