Love Poem: It's Up To You Now

It's Up To You Now

In this game
of love roulette
I’ve spun the wheel
        three times in two years
        and have so far lost each spin.

Now it’s your turn
to spin the wheel,
to take your own chances
        all by yourself
        without any interference from me.

It’s up to you now
whether I come by,
whether I stay away,
        but, know if I’m gone long enough
        even your calls won’t bring me back.

Whatever place
I have in your life
is from now on determined
        by your actions alone,
        not by my long unfulfilled needs.
