Fortune OR Fate?

Fortune OR Fate?

Is luck innate?

What brings us together,

fortune or a twist of fate?

Something so mystical,

maybe imaginary,

that we create.

I try to fight the feeling,

the intuition,

that I hate.

I try to hinder

the chances

but it's too late.

Door number one

or door number two?

Will my choice affect you?

Door number three

or door number four?

Should I go on anymore?

The domino effect has begun.

The path that's chosen

cannot be undone.

I lose so much

just when I think

I have won.

But you pull me back

just when

I'm about to run.

The weight

on my shoulder

weighs like a ton.

I admit I am scared.

Whatever happened

was unprepared.

I only hope

whatever is broken

can be repaired.

Which ever card

you flip over,

I still care.

I cannot help

but still

be there.

Roll the dice.

Will luck be

here tomorrow?

Or will there

be nothing

but sorrow?
