My Lucky Ace

I laughed hard, when others would fall; only their
weakness is what I saw.

I've been cursed with abundant strength, since the
youth of my days.  Other's often draw from it when
they no longer can find their own way.

I am now at a cross road and there you stand in
the middle.  Wanting you has become such a haunting
and strange riddle.

I've laughed often, when I saw other's going down.
Shaking my head at them, acting as if they would
drown.

I am no fool, by far.  I can take what life deals
me.  But, I never expected once, this lucky ace,
she has slung at me rather ruthlessly.

So if I go ahead and play this lucky ace right in my hand; will I win or lose?
For I am gambling with a heart of such an intense
and bewitching man.

I often curse myself, as I continue to play for it
was so easy to sever my ties and for him to choose.

So now, I neither curse nor bless, this hand I have
been dealt; I am enthralled that my lucky ace has
turned out to be you.

Thank you Albino Jen and Midnitesun for your honest words. And there is times, I wished I could pass the curse of strength on to others! Lol!
