THE QUEEN OF HEARTS

THE QUEEN OF HEARTS

This life has been a twisting road,

Steering me to places I never intended to go,

An ambiguous journey with errant choices,

Often led astray by deviant voices,

Yet somehow it wandered me to you,

A destination of the heart that was most due,

As we begin this fresh journey together,

I want you to know that I’m in it forever,

My chips are going all in,

I’m not folding, I’m playing my cards until the very end,

Some may call me a fool to go all in before the turn,

But there’s something in your love that leads me to yearn,

Yearn to see the river card to complete my hand,

This is no bluff, for next to you I faithfully stand,

An all suited royal flush is what I’ve drawn in part,

And I believe you to be the queen of hearts,

To complete this hand of ace-high,

As the dealer reveals the river I take a deep sigh,

Anticipation and anxiety begin to start,

There you are the queen of my heart,

But rest assured knowing this was the last hand I play,

For that winding road may have led me often the wrong way,

No longer will I gamble, for you I’ll walk a straight line,

No more games, for the big winner is this heart of mine,

This life has been a twisting road,

Steering me to places I never wanted to go,

But somehow it led me finally to what is true,

The queen of my heart, it led me directly to you.
