Love Poem: She gambled

She gambled

She gambled on you
She walked a bridge too far  
You didn't feel it true
It was too high a bar

She could have tried talking
That way she would've known
Behind your infatuation
Real affection hadn't grown

She thought there was a bond  
A mystical dream  
But the wizard lost his wand 
You were just a prop in the scene 

She dreamed of a fire  
You by her side
But love was a liar
Reason should guide.

She raised the stake
But gambling's a sin
with two eyes on the snake
The house has to win

Now it’s too late  
To rewrite the part  
She wagered on fate—  
Then embittered her heart 

I know we all get burnt
But I wish it hadn't gone so far
Lessons have to be learnt
Only Fate held the cards.
