The Gamble…

~

My heart…
Your hands…

My gamble…
I understand…

My fate…
Remains unknown…

My emotion…
Never shown…

My mind…
Wanders free…

My faith…
Terrifies me…

My story…
Endless guilt…

My fault…
Spilt milk…

My game…
Bets spread…

My rules…
Remain unsaid…

My religion…
Unanswered prayer…

My shame…
Conscience slayer…

My madness…
Inner fight…

My obsession…
Burning bright…

My trust…
Beaten drum…

My fears…
Never overcome…

My worries…
Not unfounded…

My crime…
Always surrounded…

My love…
Crushing blow…

My tears…
Never flow…

Her name is Gabriella and
she serves with a smile…

All the passing travellers,
who sit and rest a while…

Hundreds of different eyes,
each and every day…

A thousand false smiles,
as she wishes time away…

Waiting for the one,
to walk into the room…

Sweep her off her feet and
free her from this tomb…

End the mind numbing,
switch on the electricity…

That will light up her soul,
not heat up Black coffee…

Her eyes mask her history,
the path that led her here…

The men that she encountered,
who filled her life with fear…

They pushed her to the limit,
tried to break her spirited soul…

In a world of drugs and vice,
they were in full control…

But she somehow made it,
found the escape route…

Yet now she pines for more,
as she dishes out the soup…

Looking for kindness,
in each and every interaction…

Searching for a White knight,
not just sinful distraction…

Someone to make sense,
of this cold, cruel Earth…

Someone who will hold her and
value her worth…

Her name is Gabriella and
love is all she needs…

Searching all the travellers,
that she hosts and feeds…
