playing poker with a tarot deck...

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

i've spent my whole life
chasing pleasure
around every corner,
always moving from
one woman to another,
one drug to the next,
spent my time staring 
from the bottom of 
the bottle looking out,
immediate gratification,
self centered satisfaction...

would i know love as you
know love if it
stared me in the eyes
on a lazy sunday morning
laying in bed and 
you told me...?
would i feel that pit
in my empty heart filled 
with swelling emotions
or would i just walk away?

i dont really know what will
happen someday,
but for now i'll play the game
with the cards i've been dealt
and just hope to break even ......
