Gambling With Our Souls

After the tender moments 
and the whispered promises
Love can go awry
Two spirits who met and made love
may end their bond 
over a triviality
To build trust is no easy task 
It can be toppled by a word
Still, we seek joy and fufillment
In each other's arms 
We walk upright into the new day 
Hope steals into our hearts
Yes, love can go awry 
But we'll persist 
Take our chances 
Let the karmic wheel spin 
in our direction

It's sad to me that so many people let a good thing end over a few silly words. Sadly true except for mature adults!! Good topic to address, Matt.
