Relationship Poem: what shadow follows us, by Jesse Knutson

I know this game but still
would gamble anything
I would keep losing and
losing to avoid the
final moment of loss
I don’t want to lose all
that love has fashioned fine
I want to die before
losing my life dying
and dying to outwit
what shadow follows us
