Pathetic Appeal

They say that the art of love is now expressed through the art of the game

A game of glances and smiles

Rocks, bling, and glasses full of alcohol

Where wingmen take flank on the battlefields of the club or the bar

Using the power of their words in attempt to get a name, a smile, or a number

Or if they’re that good a good night and a messed up morning.

Makes me wonder why the hell am I the sappy romantic?

That in the end the good guy gets the girl from the self serving asshole.

But no.

I guess that’s why I’m writing this letter to you

Whoever you are

That what I think about if I was in that hypothetical thing

Called a relationship with you

That if getting to know you is a game then I want to move my piece the same pace as yours

Every struggle taken side by side

That if you need money to get that house on Broadway I got you

If life has you stuck in a rut I’m there to help you with that flat tire

The number I would roll for you would be two

Consisting of snake eyes

Two black dots on separate ralls of fate that combined makes

you and me staring into a game of chance.

Because love is about taking a chance on that person

Rolling your heart out on a sleeve to be hugged or stabbed

accepted or rebuked

That this chance on you symbolizes that I take you as you are

Not what I would build you up to be like in a game.

That chance on you is for what’s on the table, not come what may.
