I carved
my name on your lips...
my love in your heart...
my purity in your soul...

I sold my entirety
to offer you everything
In exchange of your promises,
your trust, and your love...

I forgot that
people come and go
They leave and never return
They promise—and never do it

Love is a wish you throw
down the wishing well
Sometimes it becomes real
At least—for a while

Gambling is a crime
But I'd sell my soul for you
Until I've got nothing
to offer but myself.

Leave some love for yourself
If you don't want to be left
with nothing but a scratched shell
filled with tears and regret.
