Card Game

I'm playing all my cards this time.
Cut the deck and call it black.
Throw the queen and tow the line.
It wasn't that the move was right,
but if the risk is worth the fight.
Maybe I could shoot the moon,
or loose it all and set my doom.

Too many moves too many times.
Watching breath and watching eyes.
I've got a choice,
this is my game,
too many hands here left to play.

So do I dive and take the risk,
or cut my losses, jump the ship.
Is it worth the fear behind,'
to steal the deck and play the sly.

Which move's wrong and which is right,
which will haunt me all my life.
Is there a chance that I can win,
despite the plays in others' hands.
Is my deck stacked to a tee,
or will the sacrifice be the death of me.

So tell me now,
should I play it safe...
take a hit but still gain.
Or should I throw in all the stops,
take the risk and reach for it all,
Cut my losses if I fall.

What move is right in this life game.
Too many cards here left to play.
