The Gamble

Let's gamble on love I'll throw in all my heart; if you promise me I ain't dicing on a game of hurts Throw in anything you want, from selfishness to lust Watch my heart beat off my shirt Watch me sweat out my trust in you Laugh if you want babe; for fear is funny when it's not yours to feel. When the dice finally settle and you win, you can have all my heart and use it anyway you want If it settles on me, you can have all you bet with no loses; But what I need is all your heart on another game; my game, my rules, my play, and that's a game called 'sacrifice.' Do we have a deal?

Will you gamble then? Thanks for the visits. It means a lot to the heart I pour out through my finger tips
