I got a ring
on a sure thing.
I walk with confidence and pride,
but confidence I've tried.
Ace Of Hearts to my sleeve
and a smile on my face
I enter.
The lights and smoke intoxicate
to invincibility.
Without need of thought
I'm all in
on a sucker's bet.
The dealer,
left smiling,
said,"Come again real soon"
I can take the House
"No son, the House will take you"
I got a ring
on another sure thing.

why the poker imagery? is it because love is a gamble that you were willing to take, but ultimately lost? if it is--you are a genius!
Also, my favorite lines are "i walk with confidence and pride, but confidence i've tried." there's such a biting sting at the last line.
Finally, one more question...i noticed that you posted the poem so late, what was your inspiration?
I love it all!
