Sweet red ball

Михаил Метляев
You winked at me,
You tease me,
You please me,
You say...

Completely,
Politely
Invite me
To play.

Sweet red ball!
To give and fall!
To play for goal!
Fire in the hole!

I join the game you play.
So what a price i pay?
Release it anyway,
No matter what they say.

I hang in
In bending,
Pretending
No pain

You slanging,
Short pending
In standing.
You're rain...
Rain!

Confused in  game you play.
Rag doll on fancy tray.
I feel i'm thrown away.
So what a price i pay?

Conclusion -
Illusion.
Solution
To break.

Pincushion.
Confusion.
Pollution,
We make.

Sweet red ball!
Accept your role!

You've crucified me in flame.
I testify what a shame.
I know, i bear the blame.
It comes... the end of game.

Sweet red ball!
Fire in the hole!
