My Love gamble

After being shattered into a million pieces.
I used gold to fix that what had been broken..
Feeling hopeless. And lil past worthless.
Knowing I can't lose much.
I decided to take a gamble.
So I slapped on the table. That gold I used to put my heart together..
But the stakes by my apponent were much greater.
My soul was on the line..
In exchange for that greater love.
I have gambled my soul and all that gold.
For that true love.
In other words I gambled for love.
And my opponent being the devil.
Opening bets are in.
Poker faces are seen.
His eyes that of a cat and express mean..
Mine showing fear of losing all..
It being not much at all....

It begins
Staring at my opponent in eye.
Knowing all those stories as a kid are about him.
I hold my ground even tho playing with the devil.
The king of lies and cheat.
2 cards each are handed out.
God knows what he has.
I take a look at mines.
A's of spades and that duece.
He grabs his Mexican cards and holds them in front of his face.
He smirks In such an evil way.
That I feel my A's and deuce as dirt.
But it's far to late to take a fold.
So I raise the stakes.
And he says sorry it's far to late.
Your lost and never had a chance.
He agrees to the wager..
And we both receive a new card...
I take a look at what just got thrown at me. A queen of spades.
So now I hold 3 card that wild deuce. A's of spades and the queen same suit.
He looks at his 3 Mexican playing cards.
But his poker face shows no glimpse of defeat.
Instead that smirk that he once had evolved to a full blown evil laugh..
Feeling defeated I raise again.
Having nothing worth betting.
I say you can erase me for good from the world. And I'll be your slave for good..
Of course he accepted. My soul was on the line..
One more card was handed out to both players..
Mine being a Jack of spades.
so far so good I say to my self feeling confident.
But the king of the underground is now laughing histerical jumping on his chair.
So I decide to tap the table twice.
And it seems I caught him off guard.
Down to one card
He looks at me and starts to speak.
Voice with an accent and deep in tone.
He says.. Fold now And shall show you mercy down below. I will give you all that I wish for.
I reply with a simple no..
Last card gets handed out....

The moment of truth..

Fifth cardboard playing card just got handed out...
I take a moment to flop my card knowing this might be my last moment on this earth.
He grabs a hold of his last card.
Me still not knowing what he holds within those long slim fingers his nails perfect, long. Sharp. A woman's wish in a manicure.
He's tall, muscular and a gentleman.
A woman's dream man.
I'm short with a big heart and soul.
Short temperd. Crazy. Looking for love.

The flop.
He looks at his 5 playing and the beast decided to check the table.
I glimpse at mine And I tap 2 at the table.
He shows his cards full house A's over jacks.
So I take a moment before showing my opponent my game.
Not knowing my 5 card.
I uncover my four cards. A of spades that wild deuce. Jack of spades. Queen of spades.
I pick up my fifth and flip it my way..
K of spades.
Royal flush.
The aftermath.
I wake up from this nightmare on the same poker table I just tangled with the devil.
I can't seem to remember what just happend.
Then I look down and there's my 5 Mexican cards.
It seems I defeated the beast.
And I think I'm still me at least..

I gambled for love..
Still confused about what I just dreamed.
She comes out of the room.
Kissed on the cheek.
And said.
I love u baby....
I guess it was all a dream
