Emotionally drained
by the heartache and pain,
she chose another,
now my heart barely flutters.

But there is an opening
deep down inside,
where love can fit in,
though I hurt inside.

A bit of magical spark
that keeps hope alive,
to heal and move on,
in spite of my pride.

My search continues
as I soldier on,
mending my heart,
will not be withdrawn.

Pick up the pieces,
of my shattered heart,
adventures are out there,
my journey restarts.

Perhaps the song lyrics are right,
looking for love in all the wrong places,
is how I may have been,
so I'll take my cards and hope for aces.

Fate, deal me a queen,
and I'll place my bets,
will I win this time,
I just don't know yet.

But I'll play the game,
one hand at a time,
looking and searching,
for one to be mine
