A Fool's Bet Poem by Robin Bennett

A Fool's Bet



Bets of the heart, another roll of the dice-
Ready to go all in, no matter the price;
Bigger the wager, bigger the cost,
What happens when you find everything is lost?

Now a pawn in a haunting social scene-
My vision now clouded a jaded green;
Life catches you up in her game,
Leaving you with nothing but a heaping slice of blame.

Implying words show, you got some sorting out to do-
Find something to hold on to, search for a way to be true;
Betting games just aren't your forte,
Raging thoughts changing your mind each day.

Never said I didn't love you, I'm numb as of now-
Alone with my twist of fate, I'll make it through somehow;
Remember what you had, before you tossed the dice?
I suggest you run, I'll give you a nice head start...
