They call love a game
But I seem to be benched
Players in the field
I just watch and learn
They all have a shot
A shot straight to the goal
A missed free kick
Heads down in disappointment
Game on
They back in running
Another player has the shot
And it’s the same disappointment
I wish I could warn her
The goalkeeper to keep watch
The shots will keep coming
Eyes open, more vigilant
Time to make a change
I go in, a defender
Ready, I join in the game
Giving it all I got
Here comes the striker
Right straight towards me
I have to defend the goal
I have to take the ball
Finally ninety minutes gone
And the match over too
No shots fired
I did defend her post.
