Love Games

Roll the dice of love 
What will it land on?
Will it caress you with a gentle touch?
Or will it suffocate you and watch you gasp for air?
Go ahead and play Russian Roulette 
Love becomes the bullet
Metallic and cold to the touch
If you are lucky you’ll miss this love bullet of death

Love to gamble?
Well gamble with love
The stakes are high
Love is the dealer and your opponent
What’s the prize you may wonder?
A lifetime of happiness
Or better yet some heartache and pain

Think twice before playing
The best players have lost this game
It might sound discouraging
But if you don’t have a ticket you don’t have a chance to win the love lottery 
Play at your own risk of course
