Gambling my Heart Tempting fate I took you in my arms Denying reality I lay then by your side Resting logic I believed we’d always be Following emotion I tried not to think Holding you I lived only in that moment Reading poetry I thought you wrote for me Halting tears I never dared to show you Speaking now I fear that you will see Begging God I ask for one more chance Believing fairy tales I can rewrite our truth Playing odds I lay my money on the table Gambling my heart I say that I still love you Speak when you are angry--and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret...Laurence J.

*Sad smile* You leave me pondering how it is love is supposed to be a good thing. And yet, it can end up so far from that. An excellent write, JLR

A bit like crossing thin ice . . . I enjoyed the "edge" to this. S Arthur |

sometimes RJ, you've got to roll those dice. . . I know. . . sometimes, they come up 7, and other times. . . well. . . that's why there's always another roll. . .  wonderful. . . --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

JAW---Your response caused me to ponder the same until I found my mind moving in circles and I started to get dizzy and...well, I had to stop. So if you figure it out, please let me know. Thanks...your words are always appreciated. Paula---I've got a great heart-shaped bandaid I'll send you. Thanks for reading. LW---Thank you for reading and your kind words. It is a risky thing we do each time we fall in love. SA---Glad you enjoyed. 'Thin ice', exactly. Kathleen---Thanks for reading and understanding. Laura---Our misery loves company, doesn't it? Thanks kiddo. PK---I am quite flattered. Thank you! Sven---If love was any less a gamble, it probably wouldn't be so attractive. And yes, I will surely 'roll', again. Thanks. |
