Losing Game

Losing Game

A gamblers losing game
Love, by any other name

A high stakes final walkaway bet
Repaid only with everlasting regret

The odds seemed hopelessly long
Fate knowing what would go wrong

Everything placed on the turn of a bewitching elusive card
Hearts broken and shattered, the inevitable fall came so hard

Staring at the scattered deck, I cried
Next time, my love, she gently sighed
