Poem
ODDS OF LOVE Sometimes the heart can act strangely And random emotions can lead to mistakes And a moment of vulnerability Can result in unnecessary heartbreaks But sometimes the heart wants what it wants Even though you know it's not guaranteed A heart can lead you down a winding road And if try to slow it down, it would only pick up speed Sometimes the ride is worth the risk It's like taking a chance in the lottery You could either blow a tire around the corner Or find success and glory But you didn't expect too much anyway Because you can't see beyond your eyes Because many times we think its the truth Even though we know there are potholes filled with lies I took that wild ride once a long time ago And I never got to reach the end So in the middle of my journey I accept that its better to just have her as a friend You dont always get what you love And you don't always love what you get And if you are not careful with your moments It could turn into years of regrets The time that could have been used wisely We let our hearts lead the way Knowing 75% of darkness is waiting But the glimmering hope of finding something keeps us saying " one more day" Just one more day Love is very complicated for some people And some people don't deserve to be loved Some people would treat their partners badly, A good person in today's corrupt world should be considered an angel from above I tried to bring love into my life But my heart pulled a blank It went following a lead And comes back with an empty tank The wasteful time I think But to my heart, it was time well spent I could scale the walks to her love So I just settled on having a friend When the rain falls It doesn't fall in one place forever A little patience is needed Because there got to be a change of weather A little adventurous twist You never know the outcome It could land you the love of your life Or leads you to a bottle of rum That's why chances are made to be taken And hearts are designed to be broken And martinis shouldn't be stirred but shaken And love is a word that should not be easily spoken I keep my lips sealed for now With my emotions mixed up like a fruit cocktail that was just blend I didn't ask to win her love today So for now she is just a friend
