Gambling Man

patience is not your virtue or is it? because you decided you had waited long enough even though you waited too long and my waiting for you was a mistake you finally showed face no, not even that you didn’t have the heart to look at me a message came through you told me to forget you well I had been trying you jerk but give it a day and another person it took someone else to ask who the other girl was perched on your shoulder clinging to your arm wrapped around your finger not me I’m not jealous just disappointed call her lucky girl her bet was higher than mine but I was stepping away from the table before she came into the room I only hope that she folds early on because the house is going to win that game I won’t be standing by the exit drunk and breathing cigarettes when she stumbles out crying I will be somewhere else where I know the rules of the game
