Love Lost (Epilogue)

Just something fun, brought forth from sadness.

I lost my heart in a game of chance,

A game of luck, with a man named Romance;

He was sent by Cupid, who labeled me lost,

Though I was determined to win at any & all cost;

The pressure, extreme, with stakes so high,

As he stared with contempt, he squinted his left eye;

My face was austere & holding strong,

Though I felt my chances at winning were gone;

I figured the cards as marked, yet I would not give up,

Though he smiled at me, as his head he shook;

Yeah, I lost that game, though it was not fair,

But, about his cheating, I did not care;

As I said before, my heart was the bet,

But, believe you me, this battle ain’t over yet!
