Gamble Poem by Deborah Cromer

Love is like a bird, on wings of trust it flies
Honesty and truth can soar, rising above all lies
With you now, I feel grounded, I have no flight
Like broken wings, suffering in pain, there is no light
My heart you hold in your dirty hands
No security now and that is what my soul demands
Release me free, do not continue to torture my mind
Leave me be, all moments need to be left behind
I am alive and sensitive with a heart so deep
Walk away now, leave my sanity for me to keep
I refuse to go crazy because you have no heart
You strengthened me, built my up, only to rip me apart
I will not fall to pieces for I have grown strong
My search continues for a special man, I will get along
I thought you were for me, I believed you were the one
Thank you for the time we shared, I really did have fun
I think you are choosing a habit to use, so unclean
In the beginning, the end is rarely ever seen
