Gambler’s Remorse

Whisper me a secret lyric

grind the melody with my bones

let the wind from the trumpet

scatter the ash for miles

winner’s prize in loser’s grip

empty me with tease o’ sleaze

bankrupt emotions in debt

there’s no play left

I dropped a tear in the coin slot

gambled it away on games

did you make then break the rule

we both played but you cashed out
