the playgrounds of compensation
blurry beguiling
alluring wiling
lies
glisten in your eyes
most agreeable
tantalize
no hint of compromise
worldly wise
they hide
compensatory
justifications
inside
dreamy schemes
lullabies
to lull
to sleep
unforseen
in your grasp
are longings
toys of entitlement
illicit intent
the kind hidden
in bottom drawers
to be played
because it should have
been yours
hasn't gone to plan
now you're due
in your reach
are dreams denied
time to make up
for losses
owed you
so take
you'll have it
regardless
and promise
it all
until
it hits the wall
when you run
back to where you
belong
and right the
wrong
you strung
along
when
playgrounds of compensation
become
inconvenient
be reasonable darling
yet
another playground intent
