Love Responsibly

Shook and rolled the dice

I'm not usually a gambling man

But still I took the risk

Like the ball in a roulette wheel

I keep going round and round

Spinning, turning, and coming up short

The house always wins

The love game's been rigged

So caught up in love's allure

Everything seemed so sure

Pure clean innocent fun

Turned into bizarre guilty pleasures

Selfish desires

Unnecessary wants

An addiction of sorts

An assortment of situations

Love is too valuable

But also it's priceless

It can't be bought

It has to be taught

Studied and passed around

With knowledge comes responsibility

Now I know better

Next time I'll try

To love responsibly
