Now i Know (21)

Love's a gamble,
i take my chances,
i place my bets,
only insurance is
the house
deals regrets
win or lose
take the bruise
next time choose
which casino.

Every love-death knell
blows like iron bellows
belting over all my mettles
who's BLACK JACK
he's the fellow
got me
always hittin' hope,
even two on the rope,
countin' on the ace
of hearts
in every hand.

21
The lights draw me in.

    Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Yes, most things in life are transient, but that doesn't diminish their value. A rose is beautiful and fragrant before its bloom is spent.
