Excellent photo that complements your poem perfectly. With this one I can see it is a song lyric. This lonely female falls for a lose, not just with gambling but everything. Original title.

I'm sure I met this guy:) I really like this poem. I do sense the meter being off. It's like , even though you can't sing, you
can hear when someone is off key. The first place I sense it is the line,Don't think that you're the only one he's made(into )
a memory.. I would interject memory, read it aloud both ways.
The next would be , He's just the latest reson for the tears that you (have) cried. Again, read it aloud, it balances the lines.
Other than those two lines, I think it's great. Gypsymoth

I liked this country style poem, or more probably a song.

As I read it I am more watching a country singer on stage with his guitar.

First line is a knock out.

One puzzle, if he's coming into town, how is he one hundred miles from nowhere?

Should it be 'he's come a hundred...'

Especially liked the one-two-three punches of:

'He's a gambler, and a loser, and he's bet it all before.'

I've known some gamblers, and that beautifully sums it up.

    Actually these were intended to be Country song lyrics. I just published them as poetry. "He's a hundred miles from nowhere" is an expression meaning he is way out of his element. Thanks for your comments.
