Suicide

Love

 

is self-inflicted pain

 

those with broken hearts

 

must be insane

 

Gambling

 

every delicate possession

 

Dignity, Pride, a fragile Heart

 

tied in one love confession

 

It’s a gamble

 

I’m not willing to take

 

No, not when

 

My heart’s at stake

 

No, not me

 

I won’t get my hopes flushed

 

Because love is suicide

 

and I don’t want my heart crushed
