Gambling

Betraying my senses of decency

I will tell you everything on my mind

from the sparklers to the bombs

and all the mess in between.

Can you deal with me?

with all the rips and glue?

Holding together by threads of wishes

and dreams that may or may not come true?

I hope so since I am betting the house 

with all chips on the table 

that you will stick by my side tonight

and never regret your choice.

To me that is love 

and tonight is all we have

so gear up for me because my words are escaping

and I know that once they are said

I can never take them back.
