I gambled with love, rolled the dice for trust,
and played poker with hope.
But the games master was a cheat,
his ole name was ‘luck’,
and in this game, luck was against me.
I bet against the house with all my heart,
but only a fool would go that far!
For a fair dame, I lost my wits.
I assumed that I was ‘David”, who slayed ‘Goliath’
with a single stone.
Alas! My lesson would be a course in the intrigues of the heart.
Deception is as a deadly poison,
like a cloaked dagger which stabs a friend
from behind with a smile and velvet gloves.
For i lost my dame, and lost my soul,
this gamble with love would ruin my world....
Love! Love! Love!
Fool! Fool! Fool!
