gambler poem

The gambler that turned red hearts into spades

 

I’m choking in my own shame

blame

pain

the clashes in my brain

guilt spinning with no aim

and thoughts I cannot tame

lit by this rotten flame

called lover’s game.

So F-ing lame.

 

’cause sometimes we’re idiots

sometimes we’re fools

sometimes we’re playing

denying all rules

and sometimes we’re gambling

with a loved one’s heart

the scars in their gaze

become ink in our art.

 

Teach me words I’ve never spoken

Don’t give meaning to demeaning

Left unsaid they’ll keep me choken

Don’t use silence as your violence

Glue my verses to your curses

Don’t give blame my shape or name

Talk me witty, spare the pity,

Your only indulged happy end

involves treating me with goddamn contempt

WHY?

 

Sometimes they’re idiots

sometimes they’re fools

sometimes they’re playing

defying all rules

and sometimes they’re gambling

our heart for their spades

they spit on our suffering

and dance on our graves.

 

Control

the havoc that rips away my all

My soul

stop seeking forgiveness

My mind,

mind your own business

Temptation,

stop seeking attention

Attention…

attention?

attention!

may I have your attention, please?

this is a message for my ex lover, embarking at gate 2, destination god-knows-where

would you please mind reclaiming your hurtful words

and the corresponding emotional damage?

they should be sitting in your own emotional baggage

I repeat:

would you please mind reclaiming your hurtful words

and corresponding emotional damage?

there’s no room for them here.

 

Please reclaim your hurtful words

there’s no room for them here

Please reclaim your hurtful words

there’s no room for them here

 

Please reclaim your hurtful words

you were a drain

I never loved you.

There’s no use for them here.
