Why the Game? (Cuddy’s POV)

I lay alone
Snuggl’d in bed
Quiet as stone
With frustrations bred

Earlier today
I figured it out
A date—hooray!
In that, no doubt

He and I
Planned a night
Food and company
It should have been right

But as we did talk
Doubt did rear its head
Already, he did balk
My fears, he read

Cupid, why?
Why did Fate limp in?
I could cry
How did I against you sin?

House interfered
Upsetting your cart
It astray, he steered
Disrupting your art

Okay, I righted that
Your plan back on course
I prevented a spat
Attempting to access Love’s source

My date and I
We returned home
My hopes did fly
For once, Fate leave me alone!

Alas, such was not to be
My planned night
The game wouldn’t me free
Its reminder: a familiar sight
After questions answer’d
I glared at House
Not knowing to be flattered
Or pissed at the louse!

We stared through falling snow
Eyes dark on blue
In them though
I saw a clue

I forced him out
I told him true
What his game’s about
Eyes dark on blue

I asked one thing
One simple inquiry
But him, it did sting
My headlights to his deer

Aphrodite, you did it!
One Herculean task
Your dart did hit
And he wore Silence’s mask

Recover, he did
I could expect no less
Yet he did skid
On your icy crest

He left then
And my date did too
My plans at an end
Crushed by dark on blue

Now, I lay awake
In downy soft
Fearing for my sake
Due to failures oft

What of the game?
What of that melee?
Am I to blame?
Stare does the answer at me?

House and I
We dance round and round
From feelings, we fly
Ourselves, we confound

For years, we’ve done so
To some weird tune
Going toe to toe
Eyes dark on blue

But tonight, I know
What House’s game does mean
Now I can act true
If favor on me, you bestow
When the cue goes green
Next meet do eyes dark on blue…..
