The Gambler Poem by John Paul Ang

The die was cast,
long before i thought i could last.
The wager has been set,
even right before we met.

I waged my soul, i gambled with my life
Amidst the risk and the hype
Like a masochistic lust
That flows on the veins of distrust.

Des pite the uncertainty,
Desp ite the insanity
I tried to keep the hope alive
Every moment of it, i strived.

I waited and treasured every chance
Giving all my love in advance
Though losing is almost certained,
I continued to enjoy what this game
pertained.
The game still continues,
The gambler still has his views,
The dice continues to roll
Betting on love with a high toll.

I am a gambler,
I gamble with my life, with my soul
My heart is waged, my love is on bet
Hoping to win your affection.
