When I’m in love with a woman
I am all in.
The chips on the table
are in the pot.
I might hold my cards
close to my chest
but their reflection in my eyes
sometimes gives me away.
When the dealer comes around
I shake my head,
happy with whom I’m with
and what I’m holding.
I bet on our future
and bluff every now and then.
When I win its glorious
and I leave the table so happy.
When I lose I leave the table
Thinking about my cards
And how I might have played them
Differently.
a nice metaphor for my relationships. so far i've lost more than i've won.
