Gambling (Even if I Win this Hand)

by IdTakeABulletForYou   Jun 22, 2008


I gave you tons of chances but you made the same mistakes
and I'm not ready to jump into love when I know that I'll break;
You had to prove to me you love me but you proved that you do not
and so the best for both of us is just to leave with what we've got.

It's better to quit while ahead - not gamble to the hands of debt.
I know I've lost a lot; although, I still have something left
and I am not ready to lose all that I've worked so hard to gain.
Although there may be so much pleasure, all I seem to feel is pain.

It's too late to apologize, you'll never get me back,
and baby, I gave it my all, but it's the effort that you lack.
Don't blame me for the outcome of our cold and failed, unjust romance
--I tried to teach you all the moves.
The truth is: you just cannot dance.

So I'm giving up and giving in while I am still ahead
and I won't cry for because I know I gave my all and did my best;
--you just don't care enough for me to keep on gambling my cash,
and even if I win this hand, I'm never ever coming back.

    Hmm maybe if you hadn't have left it up in the air at the end like hands down I fold walking away a winner or something to that effect?

    I really liked this poem. i agree, its not your best and it was a little choppy, so i reread it and it sounded better. this poem really does make you think about life and love and everything that life throws at you. great job by the way. 5/5

    I really liked this one and I don't think that the flow was choppy at all. Its true how somtimes love is a gamble, and sometimes it pays off while other times it doesn't, this poem made me realise that whats meant to happen will happen and if its not meant to be you just have to make sure that you can look yourself in the mirror at the end of it all. Nice work.

    Stevie, not one of your best. The flow was a little choppy for me, maybe it was the way i read it. I dont know, i don't feel much of it.

    But I like the topic :)
