Ante Up For Love

Ante Up For Love

Love is a gamble, the players facing unfavourable odds. 
Still you risk that which you can't afford to lose. 
Never able to explain or recover the loss.
The cards have been shuffled 
and ready to be dealt. 
Are you in? Ante up!

How cute, a word I find myself at odds with using about something you wrote. I guess because your writes are usually gray to dark, but I do recall some 'changer' endings. I believe all of love's pains are to shape us for the partner we'll eventually meet, and to make us better appreciate joy when found. This poem is universe though in its thoughts about love aches.
